I remember in the 2008 primary campaign, when Bill and Hillary talked about how they had created 22 million jobs during the Clinton administration, whereas the Bush administration had created only 7 million jobs. Both Bill and Hillary talked about that.
I think the rule is, if good Democrats preside over a period of economic growth, then they say that this good Democrat president has created jobs.
But if a good Democrat presides over a period of decline, then the criteria change. At such times, then the good Democrats say that presidents don’t create jobs or lose jobs in the economy through their policies.
Or, we could say that if some criteria are to the benefit of a Democrat, then these criteria will be used. If the same criteria later on make a Democrat look bad, then we will change the criteria and ignore the previous criteria.
*sigh* who would have ever thought I would miss bill clintoon.
the rapist-in-chief at least was smart enough to cave to Republicans and we got a balanced budget out of him. (not by choice- but thanks to Newt Gingrich)
