So the fact that the ave. unemployment rate for the Bush years has been better than the ave. under Clinton doesn't really mean much in the broader context."

That is one reason. Another is that the unemployment rate numbers don't capture the full story.


Very true. However, GOPers seem to have particular difficulty grasping that argument. Since apparently it hurts their brains to think about it, they simply ignore it.
