... Reince Priebus, the Republican National Chairman today said that 300K jobs ... aught to be expected every month ... and just a historical perspective:

- during the 8 years of President Bush (younger) there were 2.1 million net jobs created in the United States. Of the 2.1 million, 1.8 million of them were in the public sector ... that means there were 300,000 jobs in the private sector in 8 months, in 8 years rather, net ...

more jobs have been created in the United States in the last 4 years than in Europe, Japan, all the industrialized modern world combined. ...

70 years since WWII. 36 years of Republican presidents, 34 years of Democratic presidents. In those 70 years, there were 36.7 million jobs created under Republican presidents ... a little over half the time. In 34 years there were 63.7 million created by Democrats. That's 29 million more. You know, perhaps it's an accident once, or twice or what. But I mean at some point the Democrats ought to be comfort in the fact that they have been better the economy and job creation than have been the opposition.

...

It's 15 years since we've had 10 consecutive months of over 200,000 [job growth]. Just 15 years ago there was a fella from Arkansas ... there were more jobs created in Bill Clinton's 8 years than there were in Ronald Reagan's 8 years, and the 12 years of both Bush's combined. I mean 6 million more jobs created in those 8 years, ... policy does kick in, & is reflected in the results.” Mark Shields

 

I have as much or more confidence in the power of the private sector as you do Edmo.

BUT !!

We'd be kidding ourselves if we denied the power of public policy.

And know it or not, believe it or not, like it or not, admit it or not; presidential policy matters.

As painful as it is to admit, by QUANTIFIABLE  standards, Democrats are good for the U.S. economy, AND good for the citizens of the United States.

To my knowledge we've never had a businessman with Trump's experience running the show, nor a candidate as openly corrupt as Hillary.

Nice that you learned how to use the quote feature. Now, could we please have a link to where this information was obtained? Thanks

An INCREASE in public sector jobs is not a good thing when the government is already bloated. We need to increase private sector jobs and decrease government jobs.

Thank you for confessing your ignorance*.

  Bankrate compiled a list of businessmen who were elected to the presidency, starting at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as their greatness ranking as president. ...

As you'll see from the following slides, there appears to be no discernible link between business acumen and presidential effectiveness.

Know it or not, believe it or not, like it or not, admit it or not; Trump has been in it for himself at least until he declared his presidential candidacy.

That he would have a sudden change would seem implausible.

Are you really willing to surrender 4 years of stewardship of the U.S.A. to this lame-brain to find out if your ignorant* hunch is correct?

"as openly corrupt as Hillary."

Hillary has made some monumental blunders. e-mailgate is but one example.

But I don't recall any Hillary scandals she's done for conspicuous avarice; Trump's obvious deadly sin.

"Nice that you learned how to use the quote feature."

Indeed. In the previous millennium my cyber-friend. I've been cyber-quoting for decades. Perhaps you should be more candid about your quotation neuroses with your psychiatrist.

"Now, could we please have a link to where this information was obtained? Thanks"

Please quote the "information" you refer to. I quoted a PBS/NewsHour broadcast. Perhaps you can find a transcript there. I quoted the one that said it, with attribute. That suffices under the dictates of the First Amendment, and U.S. copyright law. If you want a link, get your own.

"The next best thing to being clever is being able to quote someone who is." Mary Pettibone Poole

Nope. No link for that one either.

Have a pleasant afternoon.

Obviously.

I gather the jobs referred to in the quotation are mostly or all private sector.

I stomped a steaming pile of Ski-Don't, learned my lesson, and have been a Polaris man ever since.

Doos and Cats for me, but I do like the new assault. I ride in the Cadillac area of Michigan. Is that Maine in the picture?

" Is that Maine in the picture? "

New York, inside the Adirondack Park. It's the hilltop view from my kitchen window.

We're in the lee of two great lakes, Ontario & Erie. We get the kind of snow other States get.

BUT !!

We also get "lake effect" snow. So our total for the year averages over 100". PARADISE!

 

  BOOM! SCIENCE! 

" :lol: "

Thanks from this retired silicon computer chip developer.

"Science" indeed. Welcome to my world.

Oh.

I don't own a snowmobile (I call them half-tracks). I prefer a nicely broken in Flexible Flyer.

I've ridden snowmobiles before.

BUT !

here's the ride I straddle:

XT250002.jpg

It's a dream bike!

It'll go in the desert.

It'll go in the forest.

It'll go on the highway.

And getting over 60 MPG w/ it has brought only tears of joy to my eye.

:lol:

We average 130 inches, mostly lake effect. But often get 180 or 200 in a good year. :bc:

How many women are going to vote for him now that he basically said roe v wade will be repealed?

Maybe millions that would never ever think of aborting a child.
