Isn't it funny how the left loves to cite the Jobs record of Clinton?

Note the decline in federal spending in the chart in post #412 and the resulting job growth.

Every year from 1992 through 2000 federal spending as a % of GDP shrank and almost 20 million jobs were added during that time.

Government spending creating jobs is a laughable suggestion.
So, again here you are implying that since % of GDP shrank during those years that meant less spending. And when % GDP goes up that means more spending. It's what you are imying here just like the other post so don't try and say that you are not implying this. Again, you need to learn basic math...

It doesn't matter what you said.

In talking about federal spending, you look stupid bringing up state employees.

There is no "austerity"

There's actually less federal employees now. So you actually lose both these arguments, hahahaha!! Damn, I wish Vit were here to see this beatdown. You were fun, but a little too easy.

So the dictionary told you $3.5 trillion was not austerity? Interesting. Must be one of those conservative only dictionaries, lol.

Actually, you don't know what 'austerity' actually means.

Just like you don't know what federal spending as a percent of GDP means.

You're just here typing dumb shit.

I'm not implying anything.

You, too, do not know what % of GDP means.

See, I don't have a conversation and "imply" anything. If I thought federal spending declined in total dollars, I'd say so.

So you should probably stop talking.

Lol, trust me... you are making yourself look foolish. Can't even understand basic math and getting destroyed at every debate. Every single real fact points to austerity and points to the fact that Reagan was the biggest government President we've had in recent history.

Your bad!

Austerity!!!!

Private-sector jobs are still down by 4.6 million, or 4%, from January 2008, when overall employment peaked. Meanwhile government jobs are down just 407,000, or 1.8%. Federal employment actually is 225,000 jobs above its January 2008 level, an 11.4% increase.

Actually yes you did. These were your exact words...

There was no decline in Federal Spending during Clinton's presidency. You honestly do not understand how dumb you look right now, lol.

Sen. Rand Paul made the humor columnist for the NYTs Paul Krugman look like a complete ass on that point...just a complete public beat down, like this thread! :missingte

@):mad:

Except record spending levels, record number of people on public programs, more federal employees, that is.

Right. These idiots are shouting "austerity" about the Federal government and talking about state public sector workers.

Lol, actually you are the one who doesn't understand it and should probably stop talking. You look like a fool every time you bring up % of GDP when referring to spending because you don't understand basic math. On second thought, keep talking because I find it hilarious

Don't worry, it is only example 4,982 of your truncating quotes and lying.

I'm not the one who posted a borderline retarded "example" not knowing why it wouldn't be applicable to the conversation.

In all of the years of their administrations (8 years for Clinton and Bush, 4 years for Obama), the average increase in spending per year was



  • 1.19% for President Clinton
  • 3.60% for President Bush: More than double Clinton’s increases.
  • 4.67% for President Obama

Austerity!!!

Note which President saw the greatest job gains.

Of course if there were actual "Austerity" someone would be able to name a non-military spending program that has been cancelled.

If there were "austerity" there wouldn't have been 5 "emergency" extensions of unemployment benefits, more people on food stamps, more people on SSDI, more people not paying taxes, cash for clunkers, stimulus spending, auto bailouts, etc.

If you actually believe there is some sort of "austerity" taking place in the federal government - and again, federal spending is 20% higher than it was in 2009 - you are an abject imbecile. There is no other way to say it.

Hey asshole, stop trying to truncate what I said.

I even helpfully bolded it for you. Here is what I said: Every year from 1992 through 2000 federal spending as a % of GDP shrank and almost 20 million jobs were added during that time.

Lol, I was trying to teach you basic math but I see now that's impossible since you are to hung up on high percentage means high spending and low percentage means low spending,lol. Let me ask you this assuming you understand basketball. If one player shoots 100% for the game and another shoots 33%, who made more baskets?
