And what were the Dems supposed to do, apply the heavy hand of big gubment and regulate corporate America not to do what they were doing? Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the GOP about socialism.

Damn Clinton and that Internet inventor Gore for all those new jobs and a budget surplus.

Have 96% of jobs created over 35 years emerged under Democratic presidents?

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
The numbers for the past 35 years show about 97% of jobs have been created under Democratic presidents.

A longer look, going back 72 years, finds a smaller discrepancy, but the Democratic edge is still better than 2-1.

Policies have played a role in job creation, but so have timing and events beyond any president’s control.

Starting with Eisenhower, GOP presidents have only overseen the creation of about one of every three jobs

Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 51 million jobs have been created in America.

49 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents.

Essentially all of them. Over 35 years. pic.twitter.com/nGvisdV6mw
