In recent days, the
Obama campaign is telling folks that Romney held the 47th worst
record when it came to job creation, as
Governor of Massachusetts. What they do
not tell you is this: while job creation
was a modest 1.5%, under Romney, the
unemployment rate fell from 5.6% to an amazing 4.6% rate. In short and as it turns out, there was no need for an expansive jobs
creation action, during Romney’s days as
Governor.
Let me say it plainly:
Romney did not create jobs (comparatively speaking) because everyone
willing to work, in Massachusetts, was working.!!
As a sidebar, ditto
for George W Bush. The Left is
constantly talking about the low job-creation numbers under George Bush. No one tells you that unemployment averaged
5.3% for his full eight year term, including 2008. GDP numbers expanded every month for 52
consecutive months, an American record
not experienced under Bill Clinton or any other president.
Conversely, under
Obama,
5 million folks have given up looking for work since 2008 and are no
longer counted as “unemployed” by the Obama economists. If we
use the same numbers Obama was using in 2009 to count unemployment rates today, instead of being 8.2%, that rate would be 11.1%.
More than this, the business community has shed 2,5 million
jobs as it works to become “leaner and meaner,”
words, I believe, Obama has
used, himself. He wanted a “leaner and
meaner” business economy. Well, now he’s got one and has no clue what to do
with it . . . . . . . no clue.
Look at what he is doing with the military. He hopes to cut 2.5 million troops out of military service, nearly all of them “blue collar”
workers. And how does Obama plan to
provide for their jobs needs?
Again, the answer is, “He has no clue.”
The fact of the matter is this: under an Obama government, the jobs recession just might continue for
years. Know this: no president has ever won re-election [since
FDR] when unemployment was at or under 7.2%.
