Where did these numbers come from? We are very soon at a point of more people retiring then young people coming into the job force. I find it hard to believe we are gaining workers at a net of 150K per month. That must be why the percentage of people unemployed is decreasing right?

Population growth puts 150,000 new potential workers per month in the market. Then the 173,000 people who have found jobs on average over the last five months since the bulk of the tax cuts kicked in is progress. Good. That might even explain why the unemployment rate has dropped a half point over that same period.

Clinton didn't add any jobs. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Andy Grove, and others added jobs. Clinton mostly followed the Republican Congress's lead on fiscal matters. The problem is that Bush never put any emphasis on creating, protecting jobs nor offering businesses any incentives to hire. Give us detailed specifics, please, using facts, comparing Clinton's and Bush's policies. Your sweeping generalities are a dime a dozen. Well, a nickel a dozen. The tax cuts for the rich have been a complete failure except to bolster the stock an real estate markets somewhat. Since the actual evidence shows you're wrong, feel free to submit anything factual you can, to mitigate your sentence in this, the penalty phase of the trial. each job will cost the Treasury something in the $500,000 range That's a false connection, and you know it.
