The media NEEDS to start doing its job and start holding CONGRESS responsible for some of this stuff as well. It is a complete lack of responsibility for a Congressional Leader to stand in the halls of Congress and take zero responsibility when you are 1 of the 535 LAWMAKERS in the Federal Government. Reid, YOU make the rules that we all have to abide by. Well, laws that at least most of us have to abide by.
Reid continues to prove he’s an idiot. As for Clinton, he rode the “dot.com” boom and enjoyed the benefits of the Contract With America. He also signed welfare reform after vetoing it twice, before polls told him to do so. If Reid’s idol Obama is so correct the economy should be booming with all of his spending, bailouts, Obamacare threats and taxes, etc. And, Harry, thanks for raising the debt ceiling to ease the economy. Now raise the blood-alcohol content to help fight drunken driving.
But it was not due to Clinton's efforts.
Yesterday, the White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, stated categorically, "the White House doesn't create jobs."
So, Harry Reid, are you the liar or is the White House the liar here?*
* That's actually a trick question - not only Reid but also Carney and his boss are habitual liars.
Reid was basically correct in that claim. From January 1993 to January 2001, the nation gained 22.7 million total jobs.Gee. Now what happened during the period of 1993 to 2001?
Ah! I remember. The EXPLOSION of the Personal Computer, Intel and AMD, Microsoft, all the spin off programs based on the Windows OS, the Internet and ISP providers, and Broadband service to almost everyone.
I recall in 1994 I had Prodigy. And access to that new thing called the World Wide Web. And at that time I was able to print out every website URL in existence then -- all 200-300 of them! And a fair portion of those websites were gubmint. 1994 was also the time when you had to type in every portion of a website URL, starting with the 'http'. What a pain that was.
So Clinton didn't create or 'gain' squat. He was just the occupier of an office when Bill Gates, Michael Dell, and others in 'Silicon Valley' were doing all the 'job creating' and 'gaining'.
But then Billy-Jeff screws the pooch and has the DOJ go after Bill Gates! Smart move asshat, YOU single handedly burst the Tech Bubble, made NASDAQ plummet, and handed off a mess to Dubya in 2001.
Dear Harry,
About 1 million of those jobs lost under Bush was Saddam Hussein’s army
Another couple hundred thousand jobs lost was the taliban govt in Afghanistan and al Qaeda employees whose jobs were eliminated by the US military and not replaced.
It DID help the economy; so well that hundreds of thousands of unqualified home buyers went for the Dodd-Fwank Fannie-Mae-Freddie Mac scam, which fueled the wall street failure.
It wasn't until it looked like Hussein had a shot at the presidency that the private sector contracted permanently.
The little old man still hasn't figured that out?
As far as they are concerned, they are doing their job... carrying Obama's water.
The whole theme of the movie was "Did the holocaust really happen?" The Germans went through years of lying, lying and lying again; covering tracks covering tracks and covering tracks; accusing, accusing and accusing....
Seems like their American sympathizers are at it exactly.
