[peek-a-boo]

Extrapolate. I doubt the conclusions would be much different.

I forget, are you the one who claims to be an expert in statistics?

Quite honestly… this thread illustrates why most liberals cannot perform sufficient analysis to challenge the global warming wackos. They take on faith anything with numbers that is put in front of them.

Extrapolate this…

I answered the question with my link. Everything you are looking for is there.

I looked at the link stopped in 2012.

so. fact or fiction? President Obama grew government employment during his 2 terms as president.

Did you answer this before? I missed it.

@Call_me_Ishmael

You talking about integrated labor months worked by executive branch employees and comparing it with same from Bush administration?

Why not at least define what you mean by “grew”? A sophomoric “final-initial” of all government calculation is silly and meaningless.

Facts matter.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

And integrated labormonths of the executive branch over the terms of office are the facts. What does THAT calculation show? Maybe it supports the OP rant, maybe it doesn’t. I dont know.

And I would add … exclude active duty military.

In my business, I don’t typically answer questions without understanding the context. Thus far I’ve seen no context so I don’t feel compelled to provide a substantive response.

The gentleman from the calculated risk blog didn’t think it silly or meaningless.

Grew. What is the definition of is, is.

Grew is self explanatory. Either is grew or it didn’t grow.

I can’t help you, dude, if you dont understand what I mean by or the relevance of the integrated labor months of the executive branch over the presidential terms.

LOL. Read the calculatedrisk blog link earlier in the thread and all will be answered.
LOL.

I do understand the difference between growth and no growth.

sorry you are no quite grasping the question posed Its a real simple one.

Read the blog and answer the question. Its not macro economics.

it a simple question with one of two answers. Fact or fiction?

Labor months expended over the presidential term to perform the functions of the executive branch.

It’s an integrated number… not simply a subtraction of the initial number from final number.

Then compare one president’s terms with another.
