    So this whole rambling bunch of stilted BS isn't actually analyzing numbers of jobs created in Texas, but some arcane jobs-versus-population coefficient?

    Well, Todd, I don't know how you figure these things in Hyperliberalville, but for the rest of us, a job's a job, Todd... still, you can try to peddle this as though it's some big breaking news if you want to. The size of the labor poor has nothing to do with the hard number of jobs actually created. Lots of luck trying to convince people who count jobs created and not some jobs-versus-people algorithm.... Do you realize that most people cannot even tell you what the cube-root of 27 is without looking it up? :mrgreen:

    You're more than welcome to prove the OP wrong.

    Todd's in no hurry to respond to my earlier post, but how about some information that actually comes from THE State of Texas website? You know, actual INFORMATION from a credible, unbiased source, and not some off-the-wall, tortured extrapolation:

    http://www.texaswideopenforbusiness...-in-10-years-no-other-state-tops-100-000.html

    http://www.twc.state.tx.us/svcs/commrs/012510chr.pdf

    http://www.governor.state.tx.us/files/ecodev/State_to_State.pdf

    http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/press/2011/052011epress.pdf

    OK, now that nobody but a deluded clot of hyperlibs insists on thinking that Texas is some kind of economic jobs disaster, maybe we could elevate the debate to what the hell has gone wrong with Comrade Obama's grand designs to create jobs! The best his spin-doctors could come up with was that horse s**t about how they "created OR SAVED" x-number of jobs, blah, blah, blah. :mrgreen: That is a line of totally unsupportable crap that only a desparate Obamanite would find plausible....

    Stats from ThinkProgress???? ROFL.

    What is the source of the third chart, todd? I don't see the cite for it. Could you point that out?

    Many of the states used the stim money for budget shortfalls. That's no secret and one of the reasons the stim was a waste.
    Shovel ready jobs....uh huh.

    Arcane algorithm? Lol... standard practice. What exactly is so arcane about showing job growth relative to labor force or population growth? You see, when there are more people entering an economy, there should be a growth in demand that creates economic activity and in a HEALTHY economy, more jobs are produced. If the labor force participation rate declines, then that means that people who want to work can't because there aren't enough jobs available.

    I notice how most of the righties are just skimming right past that huge "MORE PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS CREATED THAN PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS UNDER PERRY" marquee sign that is flashing right in front of them. This occurred in Perry's "small government" Texas.

    Under Barry "Lightworker" Obama, any sort of job creation is considered a blessed miracle. You people are like the starving bum who turns up his nose at hamburger because it isn't Chateaubriand.

    MaGoo. Your chart is a fabricated lie. Show us the month where Obama created 400K jobs ? 300K ? 200K ?

    Have you no honor ? Oh wait, you are a hopeless lib. Screwed forever. Forget my question.

    Is there a lib in this forum that has even half a brain ? Who can debate issues ? Who is not a freekin idiot parasite on the Republic ?

    150K jobs were created in Oct. 2010. You're reading the graph wrong. Each bar doesn't represent the number of jobs created in that specific month. Instead it took the number of jobs starting under Bush than added/subtracted the number of jobs added each month and totaled it. I.E. The U.S. was +250K in Sept and added 150K in October to get +400K total.

    At 300k per job...I hope it was worth it.

    They'd be better off just giving me 100k for me to look for my own job for 2 and a half years.

    There is nothing on the X bar. Either post a valid graph, or take your crap and ****.

    Bush had more folks working in the worst month of his Presidency than Obama has had working in his best month. Any month.

    I was born and raised in MD, btw. When it meant something.

    Thanks for the picture. With all that success, it makes me wonder why unemployment numbers are so high and why Obama himself insists that creating jobs must be our new number one priority (instead of, you know, spending an entire year promoting and ramming through health care legislation...which is unconstitutional anyway, at the exclusion of practically everything else...of new jobs certainly).
    And you have to wonder how much of that Obama success is due to Rick Perry of Texas who has created a full one third of all new jobs in the nation in Texas alone!

    LOL The vaunted X-Axis! Can't take a graph seriously unless the X-Axis is properly labeled. Well Eighty 'Time to Drop My' Deuce, besides time, what else would the X-Axis represent? Mayan calendar? :roll:

    Bush left office right when the figurative tornado just landed. The destruction always takes longer to clean up than the actual event itself.

    Look, as I posted earlier, Obama has no months that correspond to your graph. Not even close. So its some fabriated BS. With the plethora of stuff out there to show lousy numbers for Bush in the latter part of his Presidency, you have to post made up crap. WTF right ?

    MaGoo. That is lame.

    Terrapin disgrace. Uber terrapin disgrace.

    Have you ever taken math in HS? you would know that with making a graph you need a label on both axis.

    more public education failure.

    I already explained the graph to you. Your just having a hard time understanding it...still. Sept. '10 we were at +250K jobs since the end of Bush's term. In Sept. '10, added 150K jobs, which brought the total to +400K jobs in Oct. '10 since the end of Bush's term.
