The number of people, the labor force, has shrunk by nine million human beings since Obama took office.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The last six months of the Bush administration lost four million jobs and the first six months of the Obama administration lost another four million before any initiatives of the president could take action.
The world has 6 billion people and counting. We need to help 500 million people become better leaders so that billions can benefit.
22 million new jobs under President Clinton. 3 million lost under Bush.
I think the latest estimates were that we have about 250,000 millionaires and billionaires. President Obama wants to increase their taxes 13 percent.
President Obama has tried to spin the paltry new job creation numbers as 'a step in the right direction.' But, clearly, the small growth in jobs isn't even keeping up with population growth, much less returning the workforce to a healthy level.
In 1790 we had less than eight hundred thousand slaves. Under our mild and humane administration of the system they have increased above four millions.
Under Obama, income growth has been confined almost entirely to those at the top of the income distribution, continuing a pattern that began under President George W. Bush.
So more than 8 million people lost their jobs. It's going to take a significant push on our part and time before that comes down. I don't anticipate it coming down rapidly.
Since the end of the Second World War, our population has more than doubled to 27 million people.
Since President Bush took office, we have lost 3 million more good jobs.
