I hate to be the one to break it to you, but all party rhetoric aside... Presidents don't create jobs, and they don't actually drive the economy. They have some small impact, but there are far larger forces at work in the business cycle.
It's better that this is true.
Then we don't have to worry about their economic policy?
and they don't actually drive the economy.
Yes, actually they do. The problem is that they're owned by the business community heart and soul. An example is Bush constantly talking about Free Trade..good, PROTECTIONISM...bad. Where in his rhetoric is FAIR TRADE, that made this nation wealthy in the first place? Why does he promote legislation that favors the move offshore? Why does he give them large tax decreases and hidden taxpayer funds so they can move the jobs to China and India? Why are the Chinese given access..free of charge..to our ports, our markets, our venture capital? Why does he do nothing about the influx of illegal aliens who take the few jobs that remain? Why does he keep trying to raise the legal immigration cheap labor numbers and only stops when we scream about the issue? He has alot to do with it and so do the people HE appoints. It's obvious where his loyalties lie.
