don't forget that they also keep 1.3 million people off of unemployment...liberals HATE this

It sounds better when you say this than when you say, they replaced 2 million good paying jobs with benefits with 1.3 lower paying jobs with crummy benefits.

But those jobs are parasitic. They don't create wealth; they simply provide the service of transferring wealth between consumers and producers. That's a valuable and necessary service, of course, but the fewer people it takes to provide the service--and the less they get paid--the better off our economy will be.
