Since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private-sector jobs. So what's the job score? Republicans: 24 million. Democrats: 42 million.
Now, there's a reason for this. It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics. Why? Because poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth. When you stifle human potential, when you don't invest in new ideas, it doesn't just cut off the people who are affected. It hurts us all.
We know that investments in education and infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase growth. They increase good jobs, and they create new wealth for all the rest of us."

President Obama created almost 3x more jobs than the last two republican presidents combined. We don't have to lie. We know how to govern and we don't have to lie. Both Obama and Clinton lowered the deficits from where they were when they were elected. Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43 and now Trump all leave office with massive deficits. Why? Because republicans and their voters are morally and intellectually corrupt. |
