This graph again documents the typical historical record of comparing Republican Economic results against Democratic economic results. Republicans overspend and under perform. As I've stated repeatedly before only two things grow when Republican economic principles are in place, namely unemployment and the national debt. A snapshot look at this comparison shows:

1). Public sector (government) employment increased under Bush by just over 4%, and has declined under President Obama by approx. 3%.

2). Private sector employment under Bush declined by approx. 1% over 4 years. Yet in just 2.5 years since the Great Recession bottomed out after President Obama's economic policies took hold have increased by approx. 4%.

Willard Romney has stated he wants to re-implement the Bush economic policies, the same policies that greased the skids for the 2nd greatest economic decline in American history. Romney wants bring his MBA education and experience to shape the American economy. We have had two other Presidents with such experience and education, Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush. How'd that work out?

1. Bush was president for 96 months.

A tragedy in and of itself, but the chart doesn't say which term of Bush.


Also, why is the last 3 months of Bush's term missing?

2. this chart is of the 1st term completed thus far

When President Obama completes his second term in 2016 we can do a full comparison. I'll make a prediction based on the last 70 years, President Obama's record of monthly job creation will FAR exceed that of George W. Bush, who had the worst record since Hoover.
