The Numbers Confirm Republicans Caused The High Unemployment.
Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
The numbers are in and they do indeed confirm that the Republicans are responsible for and are the ones who caused the High numbers of Unemployment, which they are trying to blame the Democrats for. President Obama alluded to the numbers on his Interview with Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show” recently.
The President explained that before he was sworn into office, more than 4 million jobs were lost at the hands of the Republicans, who have at many instances blamed it on their own policies while in office. The President said 750,000 jobs were also lost in the month he was sworn in, and as expected, the job loss rippled on, for some months after, citing the loss of 600,000 jobs each in the two months after. When the new policies started by the Obama Administration started to take hold, we did see the change and lowering of the job loss.
We have seen the Republicans try to dishonestly pin the blame of the job loss on the Democrats, something which simply shows what is inside their very beings, and I must say it is indeed a dirty trick for them to be doing this.
PolitiFact.Com is quoted as reporting, ” Looking at BLS data on seasonally adjusted non-farm employment from December 2007, when the recession officially began, to January 2009, the month before the stimulus was enacted (a 25-month period), the jobs number declined by 4.4 million.”
It is important to put the blame in the correct place so we can see the truth about the Republican Party and the lies they use to confuse the public and distract voters.

Teeluck learned this from notes he found in the spacecraft that landed in his backyard.
Oh Rusty…you sweet talker you…
Jess this started a lot longer than when Nixon was in office. Try the turn of the last century when the robber barons were running things. Steel mills, ship yards, coal miners and the railroads played a part in the strikes for better wages and working conditions.
Ditto.
Ditto big time.
You said it right Tee and I don’t need convincing on the truth in your words. But sadly, facts are not driving the mid-terms, far from it.
Facts? They would not know it if it bit them in the ass!
For a list of 10 good reasons you should vote and NOT for Republicans or Tea Party candidates, see my post at http://jackjodell.blogspot.com/.
The Republicans did indeed cause our current high unemployment. But even worse than that, they don’t care and have offered not one single viable solution to create jobs. Instead, they still encourage outsourcing by big business and huge tax cuts for the rich, neither of which have produced good-paying jobs here.
As for UPS gaming the system with Congress, that has become SOP for American and multinational corporations who have not only bought out the legislative branch, but the Supreme Court as well. Aside from that, the Teamsters getting into Fed Ex might not be such a bad thing. It is a double standard for people to just sit back and placidly accept corporate boards expanding their already far too large salaries but turn around and say workers shouldn’t be able to organize to get decent wages. Corrupt though they often are, the more uniopn presence and influence in the workplace today and going forward the better!
Well said Jack, the Unions have always been the firewall between us and the companies, which is why they have been attacking the unions for 20 years now.
From some history I have been reading about unions the attacks have been here a lot longer than 20yrs Teeluck. What we see now are all the misfits that started in Nixon’s admin mucking things up and it culminated with commander cuckoo bananas. It seems to me the next union that will be on the front lines is the teachers union. With all this bluster about get rid of department of education, you know they are going to try. I keep hearing about charter schools and it’s just another way to get rid of a union and make money for some private company IMO, much like the dept of corrections in some states being privatized.
Exactly Jess.
It’s a long track record of the GOP and the Establishment smashing people who work for a living and demonizing them for organizing, of course when big business organizes, that’s just “lobbying” right?
Greedy, greedy motherfuckers.
That’s all privatization is. -Not efficiency, -not better systems, -not innovation, -not job creation, just profits.
Eventually they’ll suggest privatizing the government itself.
-SJ
Privatizing?? …Never!!
Teeluck, this post is of course right on the money. Pun intended, and the facts you lay out will be conveniently ignored and denied by voters who want to believe they identify with Republicans.
We don’t have that many stupid people in this country, just millions of people willing to deceive themselves into not blaming the policies and the politicians that created a huge part of the mess we are in.
SJ, There are many willing to lie to themselves and misplace the blame. Sadly we the victims of their idiocy.
And the Republican platform is no other than more of that which got us to the brink of disaster. Sure, let’s try it again and see if it works this time. Ugh.
C.H. they will do the same things knowing the results, because they do not care, they just want to suck the profits out of the country.
