When Reagan took office, the unemployment rate sat at 6.1% He cut taxes for the rich, claiming a trickle down effect would create jobs and bring down the unemployment rate.
The complete OPPOSITE occured, and by the end of his second year in office, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 10.7%. The tax cut for the rich FAILED to produce the jobs in the private sector as Reagan promised. By the end of his 8 years, REAGAN managed to increase the number of GOVERNMENT workers and TRIPLED the size of the government workforce. His final unemployment rate on his last day in office was 6%.
He only moved the DIAL 1 tenth of 1 percent in 8 years with his tax cuts for the rich.
President OBAMA, took a country in a nosedive with an unemployment rate of 8% and rising, and by the middle of his second year in office, the unemployment rate sat at 10.2%. In 8 years, president Obama has grown our private sector jobs market and our unemployment rate sits below 5%. He has cut the size of government workers and has created new industries that employ americans.
Somehow, you think the country is in a disaster with this record, and you would rather see a return to the republican policies that almost killed this nation.
Its hard to believe that people "think" like this, but you do.
