60 days, 60 stats - #7
Let's continue the jobs theme for today's statistic. Thanks to Bill Clinton for researching this one for me :-)
42,000,000 - private sector jobs added to the economy under Democrat Presidents over the last 52 years.
24,000,000 - private sector jobs added to the economy under GOP Presidents over the last 52 years.
Think he's full of it? Politifact says his numbers are accurate.
In case you're wondering, that's 24 years of Democrats, 28 years of Republicans, going back to (and including) Kennedy. The Democrats achieved that number with 4 fewer years in the oval office, and this includes Obama's 4 years which were the worst recession during the period.
Mitt Romney said "this election is about jobs." I agree. If you can look at these numbers and honestly convince yourself "Romney's financial plan is not at all like Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush; he'll buck the trend," then I can't help you.
