Interesting graph. If you take it back to 1977, you will note that the
only times we had net job loss, a Republican was in the White House.
Damn, who would have thought?

You see what you want to see. Harken back, if you will, to Bus101, and
run that graph back many additional years. What you see is the ever
present business cycle at work, inevitable and immutable.


Indeed they do see what they want to see. Unfortunately your effort to
explain a natural phenomenon such as a business cycle in non-partisan
terms is ultimately wasted on the armchair partisan political hacks that
populate this forum. They genuinely believe that all that happens - good
or bad - is directly the result of the policies of the party leaders that
they either love or hate. All good comes from my side of the aisle, all
bad comes from the other. Such is their sad polarized view of the world.
What a dreadfully tedious drumbeat to march to.

Read back, RG. You'll see that Harry turned an statistical/informational
thread into a political one. And then thunder piled on with his "take it
back to 1977, only when a Republican was in the WH" claim.
