Building a smarter military war machine, without the pork barrel spending the GOP is known for.

· Total jobs created under Democratic Presidents: 68,312,000
· Total jobs created under Republican Presidents: 32,194,000

· Average yearly growth in jobs under Democratic Presidents: 1,952,000
· Average yearly growth in jobs under Republican Presidents: 825,500

· Average yearly percent growth in jobs under Democratic Presidents: 2.54%
· Average yearly percent growth in jobs under Republican Presidents: 1.17%

I could add more, but the historical National Records Archive (NARA) for Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have been either completely removed or moved somewhere else. I cannot find any of their accomplishments as was there years ago for decades. There's almost nothing left that even shows they were even presidents. WTH?
