And other presidents had Republicans controlling Congress and still managed to keep unemployment under 7.5%

Other Republican congresses didn't have the Tea Party.

That's because they don't HAVE a jobs-bill...

(They also don't have any solution for health-care, other than a possible 39th attempt to repeal ObamaCare...But they don't have anything to replace it with anyway, so if nothing else, it gives Bachmann something to focus her massive intellect on...)

And in 8 years, Bush only created 3 million jobs; and in 8 years Clinton created 23.1 million.... How soon we forget...

I knew Bill Clinton, and Obama ain't no Bill Clinton.

It wouldn't matter if he was.

Or fail to learn - which happens to be your affliction. When you have full employment, there is no need to create jobs for which there are no workers. It is only when you have workers, and no jobs for them, that it is necessary to find ways to encourage employers to hire more workers.. Unfortunately for the current crop that occupy the Oval Office, they have no idea how a market economy works, so they have absolutely no clue how to encourage employers to create more jobs. They think that raising taxes on those who employ others is the way to encourage them to hire additional workers, never realizing that the additional tax burden is removing from the economy the funds that might be put to use employing more people. No matter how many times you explain to a "progressive" that there is a tax burden above which more taxes do harm, it is not a concept they seem capable, or willing, to grasp.

Regardless of tax structure, tax rates, who is taxed and who is not, the federal government has averaged 18% of GDP in tax revenue since the end of WWII. That is as much of a tax burden as the economy will support, it will not support a tax burden necessary to sustain a federal budget that seeks to spend 1 out of every 4 dollars that the Union's economy generates. The economy of the Union will not support a total tax burden (local, State and federal) in excess of 50% of GDP. Government is not so important that it requires more than half of every dollar of GDP generated.

The people in the Union will pay more in taxes this year to support their governments than they will spend on food, clothing and shelter for their families. This is nothing new, the same has been true of every year, with the exception of 1, since 1987. Left, right or center - I find it hard to believe than anyone would think that this metric isn't upside down, that our total tax burden to support our various levels of government, shouldn't be costing us more money than food, clothing and shelter do.

How about that recall validation..... lol
