Where did you get that statistic from?

For as much as I dislike Clinton, the worst unemployment rate he faced was 7%, I believe - and that's when he took office. In '99 is was closer to 4%.

No one is "forgetting" anything, here. The employment situation is the worst its been in, what, 30 years?

Some info for Bush:

Quote:

Despite the recession he inherited, 9-11, stock market scandals, Hurricane Katrina and two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the unemployment rate during the Bush years averaged out to 5.27%.

Clinton I think was 7%. I was using sarcasm.

Some intersting info:

Quote:

The US has lost 16,000 jobs each day since Democrats passed their MASSIVE Generational Theft Act, the largest redistribution of wealth from the private sector to government officials in US history.

Umm, no - Clinton's unemployment average rate was 5.4%. They were as damned close to statistically tied as they could be.

But remember: Bush inherited a 3.7% unemployment rate. Clinton started with well over 7%. So, for them to be practically tied it stands to reason that Clinton did better regarding unemployment during his presidency.

Quite frankly, I don't attribute much of those numbers to the presidents, anyway. My point is that we must be honest to maintain credibility.

And the number of illegal immigrants has risen to What percent of the population?

And we give benefits to everyone?

Sounds like a conspiracy to me...
