Here’s Obama’s total private sector job growth/losses since taking office.
He’s a little over 1 million jobs shy of net 0 change and that’s a pretty steady, though not very steep, trend.

Honesty in Data Presentation
So, my previous post makes a disingenuous point that Democrats are better at shrinking government than Republicans by including state and local government employees in the data. If you just look at federal numbers for 2001 - 2011 you get this… which shows a complete lack of less federal employment growth in the Bush era. (EDIT: there is a significant uptick at the end of his term… see...
Two things I would like taken into account when...
37% of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was what Republicans like to call “tax relief.” Go fuck your “only supply-side” tax cuts count as tax cuts.
The public sector (federal, state, and local) has lost 610,000 jobs from January 2009 to December 2011.
That constitutionally mandated census hiring sure is Obama’s fault. MASSIVE GOVERNMENT GROWTH. (You can...

Laundry
The dryer in my building is so sub-optimal. If I do a full load in the washer it takes two dries (oh high, which is like clothing murder) to actually get everything dry. It adds an extra $1.25 and 45 minutes to the entire process.

There is SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE between the two performers. If you look at the original 1977 performance you seriously have to squeeze between them. There is almost guaranteed contact.
