"Second, over the past two decades or so, the U.S. has created more than 40 million jobs--twice as many as Europe and Japan combined."

Two decades? Now the WSJ should stop basking in the pre-Bush years. The metric is how many jobs were created since 2000 when Clinton-Bush made China a permanent favorite trading partner?

I know it was a really long post.... but you overlooked this paragraph where the phony Clinton internet-bubble jobs have now been replaced by real jobs. Read it carefully:

In the past 24 months 3.5 million more Americans have found work, which is the equivalent of a new job for every worker in the entire state of Indiana. Every single job that was lost during the bursting of the technology bubble and stock market collapse of 2000-01 has been matched by a new job, often in a new industry. As the nearby chart shows, the bottom of the jobs recession hit in mid-2003--and the recovery began at the very point that the Bush marginal-rate tax cuts were enacted into law.

Isn't it great that we have created more than 40 million jobs under both Democratic and Republican presidents while the Europeans and Japanese combined haven't had 20 million?
