Because we were talking about what happened to job growth during the Bush years as a result of his massive tax cuts.

So I posted a chart about job growth.

Job growth tanked after the massive Bush tax cut givaways of 2001 and 2003.

Oh, but it should have grown! Giving massive tax cuts to the "job creators" makes jobs appear! At least according to the Republican economic platform.

Except it's been proven that it does not. How many times did Reagan have to raise taxes?
