9 of the last 10 recessions occurred under Republican economic policy, including todays George W. Bushs Great Recession, the deepest economic downturn since Hoovers Great Depression of 1929. President Obama has not only halted the staggering job loss of over 780,000 per month he inherited from George W. Bush but President Obamas Bubble Up Economic policies has reached positive increase in monthly job creation with unmatched speed.

The economic pain being felt today is a result of the depth of the hole that was dug by the Republican Trickle Down policies of the Republican Party. The nation suffered a loss of 8.4 million, or 7% of all jobs, in George W. Bushs Great Recession. This compares with a loss of 3.1% of all jobs lost during George W. Bushs first recession of MarchNovember of 2001, and 1.9% of all jobs lost during George H.W. Bushs recession of July 1990-March of 1991. -The deeper the hole, the longer the climb out of it- If Americans wish to avoid the pain of recovery from recession, we need to quit electing the people digging the holes.
