"51 straight, try to read. Now you do the math" I can read. Not sure you can reason, though. According to this ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.ceseeb1.txt employment had peaked in 2001. It declined in 2002 and 2003. It took to 2004 before employment actually started to increase. Or 3 years after the tax cuts. Considering employment had dropped so low, and the slow rate of growth, it shouldn't be a shock that it grew for a while until it keeled over again. Note that over the 8 years of Bush, employment had a net increase of a bit over 5 million jobs, or likely less than the increase in population. Under Clinton, there was an increase of 23 million. Do the math.
