FYI he got that statistic from Fox.
The unregulated free market is always doomed to failure. Reagan deregulated and caused this financial crCIA, along with Bush's extreme tax cuts on the wealthy (and only the wealthy (there were other tax cuts but the wealthy got the most off relative to their income)).
Bush planted the tax cuts for mostly the wealthy because that's where the jobs come from.
If I had beaners working on my lawn, I need to pay them. Bush cut my taxes, now I have more money. I can hire more beaners to work on my backyard.
Also, for the record. The government employs about 26%-34% of America. I pulled the other percentage out of my ass, I for to add the word, "like," before the number to indicate sarcasm.
I prefer to get my facts from second sources because the labor department is part of the government, tends to be manipulative. If you want true facts about our country, go to any foreign country and watch the news.
