Under Republican administrations, it&#8217;s <strong>5.4%<\/strong>. In other words, during the four years of a Democratic administration, private sector job creation has, on average, grown <em>more than twice as quickly<\/em> as it has under Republican administrations. Take a look at the numbers:<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"329\" border=\"1\" title=\"Chart\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dailykos.com\/images\/user\/191280\/privatejobgrowth.png\" alt=\"Chart\" \/><br \/>  Data source: BLS.gov<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div align=\"justify\">That&#8217;s right: the communist-fascist-socialist thugs trying to destroy America are actually better for its private sector economy than the freedom-loving teabaggers who claim to be trying to save the nation from tyranny. Keep in mind this are just private sector jobs, so even if you believe Michael Steele&#8217;s nonsensical declaration that government jobs aren&#8217;t real jobs, you have to admit, Democrats do it better when it comes to creating jobs. If you&#8217;re still skeptical, the raw numbers are <strong><a href=\"ftp:\/\/ftp.bls.gov\/pub\/suppl\/empsit.ceseeb1.txt\">here<\/a><\/strong>. Check &#8217;em out. Meanwhile, I&#8217;m just looking forward to hearing Glenn Beck&#8217;s conspiracy theory on why these numbers are false.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#200020\">How about them Bushes?<\/font><\/strong><font color=\"#200020\"><strong> <\/strong><\/font>Actually, I posted this because of the very last line. Jed is right to ask the question. If you look at data of this kind, you would never vote for a Republican again unless you were very rich. The Right Wing line is only hypothetical.
