During the Clinton years, there was a total gain of 26,023,000 jobs. During the three and a half years under the Bush administration there has been a net loss of 1, 293,000 jobs. We're still better off than at the end of the Reagan-Bush duodecade, but who knows what miracles Bush and his gang can do with another four years. Do you want to find out?
A side-by-side comparison of their first 3-1/2 years in office reveals that W's economic "plan" created eleven and three-quarter million fewer jobs than Clinton's plan.
These figures are from the July 30, 2004 report of The Bureau of Economic Analysis.
