And It Was Republican Policies, Not Democrat, That Created Most Of Those Jobs

It's interesting to hear President Obama and other Democrat leadership take credit for the jobs growth during this 'recovery', anemic as it is. The facts say otherwise.

The jobs improvement in the US occurred almost totally in Republican-led states and has been the result of Republican policies. The states (and cities) with the worst jobs results are nearly all Democrat-led.

Republican governors and/or legislatures have implemented policies that are business-friendly. That's why businesses have been moving to their states in droves. They've also taken action to reduce their states' taxes, debt and spending. Republican states have tended to be fiscally and economically stable during this recovery. Democrat-led states have tended to be the ones in the most trouble economically and fiscally.

President Obama's and Democrat leadership's claims that their policies have led to what anemic improvement we've had in the unemployment numbers is factual nonsense. If anything, their policies have slowed the recovery.
