democrat all the way!the only thing that clinton did,was he got caught with monica,i bet the other people in dc did the same thing,the only thing was they never got caught.clinton created the jobs and bush sent them over seas.just think about when he first took office,he declaired war,we lost the jobs we already had,high prices in the stores,high gas prices,property taxes went up and he isntout of office yet.lord know what he will do before he leaves office.and they got the nerve to say times are getting better,(maybe for him)and they ask,(are you better off then you were 4 years ago,hell no we r not.

Answer 2

Presidents don't create jobs whether they're Republicans or Democrats unless they create new agencies - and that usually actual reduces the number of private sector jobs that can be created.

President Clinton happened to preside during a private sector technology revolution. Many new jobs appeared because of the revolutions in micro computing that allowed the cell phone industry to open up to the middle class and poor, the laptop got even smaller and cheaper, and the Internet boomed. These were technologies on the way anyway and would have happened under any president.

Now we are in a cycle where those new technologies are trimming fat because they aren't growing as much and the next revolutionary product has yet to come along. When it does, that president will be hailed as a great job creator because he/she had the luck to be in office while capitalism did what it does best - create opportunity.

Answer 3

Job Creation Continues:
5.4 Million Jobs Created Since August 2003
Today, The Government Released New Jobs Figures – 121,000 Jobs Created In June. The economy has created about 1.85 million jobs over the past 12 months – and more than 5.4 million since August 2003. The unemployment rate is 4.6 percent – lower than the average of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

The Economy Remains Strong, And The Outlook Is Favorable

Since 2004, The U.S. Has Created About Twice The Number Of Jobs As The Rest Of The G-7 Countries Combined.
Employment Increased In 48 States Over The Past 12 Months Ending In May. Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 33 states in May.
Real GDP Grew At An Annual Rate Of 5.6 Percent For The First Quarter Of This Year. This is the fastest growth in two-and-a-half years and even stronger than previous estimates. It follows economic growth of 3.5 percent in 2005 – the fastest rate of any major industrialized nation.
Productivity Increased At A Strong Annual Rate Of 3.7 Percent In The First Quarter. Productivity growth during the past five years has been at the fastest rate in nearly four decades.
Real Hourly Compensation Rose At A 3.2 Percent Annual Rate In The First Quarter.
Real Consumer Spending Increased At An Annual Rate Of 5.1 Percent In The First Quarter.
Industrial Production Increased 4.3 Percent Over The Past 12 Months.
President Bush Has An Aggressive Agenda To Create Jobs And Keep The Economy Growing

Growing The Economy And Reducing The Deficit Depend On Controlling The Spending Appetite Of The Federal Government. Every year since the President took office, the Administration has slowed the growth of discretionary spending that is not related to the military or homeland security. The President's last two budgets cut discretionary spending that was unrelated to the military or homeland security, and we are on track to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

President Bush Is Calling On The Senate To Join The House And Quickly Pass The Line-Item Veto, So He Can Sign It Into Law. The line-item veto, already passed by the House, would allow Presidents to target wasteful spending in large spending bills. It is an essential part of the President's strategy to reform the budget process and enhance spending discipline.

Answer 4

Where is your proof of that?

5.4 Million Jobs Created Since August 2003 (as of the end of June 2006)

That's over half of what, you say, Clinton did in his 8 years Bush did in 3.

Also, take a look at the unemployment rate....4.6 percent as of July 2006.

And no one ever complained or said bad about Haliburton when your boy Bill was hiring them to do work.

Answer 5

Actually Clinton did not create any jobs just as Bush did not create any. The economy created the jobs. Investment created the jobs. Funny how all those jobs created in the 90's evaporated when the tech bubble burst. Do you know that there are more people employed now than ever before? Do you know that our standard of living is higher than ever before? That tax reciepts are higher than ever before? To credit clinton for job creation is pure ignorance of the economy and what makes it go.

Answer 6

Government does not create jobs. At best, they can tweek and manipulate some policies, but again, jobs are not created by the government - business creates jobs, the econony and industry create jobs. If you think government "creates" jobs, then why is there unemployment? When the economy sucks and people lose jobs, why then doesn't the government go out and "create" some more? Your statment indicates that the government can create jobs whenever they want to - what, do they pull them out of a hat and hand them out at the welfare office? You need to study a course in economics and even some business classes.

Answer 7

Clinton did not create 10 million jobs, the president can not create jobs. The only people that can inflence jobs are the Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the companies that hire people. No president in history has ever created jobs, they do not have the power or authority. Please learn about how reality works before asking questions.

Answer 8

Presidents don't create jobs, companies do. Companies that prosper create many jobs. Clinton rode the dot com boom like he did Monica. And when the bubble burst, where was he? Out of office free as a bird. Slick Willy indeed. Greatest politician to every sit in the Whitehouse.

Answer 9

Clinton's numbers included Military people that re-enlisted. As soon as you mention "Haliburton" I know that you have a limited scope of information. Haliburton was used during the Clinton years as well, why?..Because they are the best at what they do.

Answer 10

Clinton was fortunate. The " Dot Com " boom was what drove the economy under Clinton. IT wasn't his policy or anything he did it was just the rapid rise in the technology industries. Think about how much computers changed while he was in office....
