Uh, no he didn't. That honor goes to Bill Clinton, who not only created more jobs than Reagan, he balanced the deficit and created a surplus....something Reagan, or any other Republican was not able (or willing) to do. But the real point here is: Reagan isn't around anymore, and who's left are a bunch of phonies. Job growth: George W. Bush 3.0 million Bill Clinton 23.1 million George H.W. Bush 2.5 million Ronald Reagan 16.0 million Jimmy Carter 10.5 million Gerald Ford 1.8 million Richard Nixon 9.4 million Lyndon Johnson 11.9 million John F. Kennedy 3.6 million Dwight Eisenhower 3.5 million Harry Truman 8.4 million --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
