Republican voters are interested in rolling back Obamacare, reducing the deficit, stopping tax hikes, cutting government.
Everything he said-it will create a favorable environment for job creation.
Just like Bush's policies did. Rrrrrright.
It should be noted that in three years or so (2004-2007), George Bush's policies pushed the total number of jobs from 132 mil to 138 mil.
George Bush didn't create the Recession of 2007-2009. The bubble which popped had its origins in the early 1990's and was the result of global financial trends. Its hard to argue that Bush somehow magically caused Housing to heat up worldwide back when he was just thinking about running against a super popular and very undefeatable Ann Richards. Bush also wasn't President or in any way did he have the ability to cause Tech sector to overheat in 1998-2001.
But the period in which he could control what happened in the economy he did create 6 million jobs over three and half to four years. Extended out to 8 years without recessions (Clinton had good timing recession that ended before and then one that began after his Presidency) and Bush would have created about 12 Million jobs at that rate, 10 million less then Clinton but also keep in mind that the 1990's were a perfect storm of great trends that will likely never happen again.
