PB Post: Gov. Bush's jobs record falls short of predecessors'

TALLAHASSEE — State employment figures show that Gov. Jeb Bush has presided over the lowest job-creation rate of any governor since 1970, appearing to call into question his claim that his tax cuts have created new jobs.

Bush, who is proposing $285 million in new tax cuts this year, has for years attributed the state's creation of new jobs during his tenure to his tax cuts, which have totaled $11 billion since he took office.

"This notion has been proven," he said during a Jan. 12 news conference. "It has been proven in our state by the economic data that we see."

But an analysis of statistics from Bush's Agency for Workforce Innovation shows that every previous governor going back as far as Reubin Askew enjoyed higher job-growth rates than Bush — even though those earlier governors all raised taxes.

They like to give them to people out of this country!!!

He is stuck with his brother as president.

It's been interesting to watch the parallels between brothers. Clinton left Geo a huge surplus which was pissed away and Jeb was left a huge surplus by Lawton Chiles which was pissed away also. In record time I might add.
They really compliment each other.

God, Americans are stupid people. Giant neon arrows pointing to the edge of the precipice and they still march in lockstep over the cliff. While Bush and his pals laugh all the way to the bank.
