16 percent more job creation
Made popular 340 days ago in Politics
dailycaller.com — Republican governors and GOP-controlled state legislatures presided over 16 percent more job creation than their Democratic counterparts from January 2010 to April 2012, according to a Daily Caller analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment data.

April was the most recent month for which online data was available on the BLS. All 50 states experienced job losses through most of 2009; many began recording job gains by the end of that year.

Raw BLS data indicated that since the beginning of 2010 Republicans at the state level oversaw the introduction of nearly 700,000 more jobs into the U.S. economy than Democrats.

TheDC adjusted those numbers because Republicans held power in more states during some months, while Democrats held the advantage at other times. The results indicate that if Republicans and Democrats held equal numbers of governorships and controlled the same number of state legislative houses, Republicans would come out ahead by 200,000 jobs during that 28-month period.

Moron, Reid and Pelousi were the main cause . If you can think back, that's when your beloved RATs took over Congress. Do your ears pop when you pluck your head out?

You can say whatever you want but the facts speak for themselves, after 7 years of Republican policies the economy tanked.
