Interesting budget/job charts.

[Ferocious]

I know a lot of people here are into numbers and charts....so I thought I'd post this here.

The second one reminds me of something I heard the other day. BUSH is the first President since HOOVER to have a negative net job creation. I guess that means overall there actually less jobs that exist today then there were when he took office.

I didn't think that was even possible. I wonder how true that is?

dang, if those numbers are correct I was even correct in stating that bush was going back in time. time travel has been invented ppls
still, those numbers look VERY bad, they just cant be right methinks, I mean bush isnt the brightest apple in the basket, but those numbers represent a MAJOR fuckup in the economy, can u find other sources to confirm em ?

Hahaha, and they say the economy is a cyclical thing, and that everything is normal. I guess the cycles serve Clinton well, while they are bad for the Bushes!! But it doesn't matters, since presidents have no effect on the economy!!

Just chart them yourself in Excel. The data source is the whitehouse and is linked at the bottom of the page. When I did so, my charts had different numbers than theirs but the trend is generally the same. For example, the 2003 deficit is only -$304B not ~-$370 B like they show.
