Moody's: Clinton economy would create 10 million jobs
CNN ^ | July 29, 2016 | Charles Riley

Hillary Clinton's plans for the economy would boost growth and create millions of jobs, according to a new analysis.

Moody's Analytics estimates that if the Democratic presidential nominee's proposals are enacted, the economy would create 10.4 million jobs during her presidency, or 3.2 million more than expected under current law.

The pace of GDP growth would also accelerate to an annual average of 2.7%, from the current forecast of 2.3%.

"The upshot of our analysis is that Secretary Clinton's economic policies when taken together will result in a stronger U.S. economy under almost any scenario," Moody's writes in its report.

Moody's Analytics is an independent research group, but the lead author of the report on Clinton is Mark Zandi, who donated $2,700 to her campaign last year, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

Methinks somebody at Moody's really wants one of those government jobs.

On April 2, 2012, Moody's published Mark Hopkin's analysis, just in time for the election, that Obamacare would lower the deficit by more than $100 billion.

The word “would” should be “could”. There is a big difference.

How many jobs did Moody’s predict the Obama administration would create in 2008 and what was his record from January 20, 2009 through January 20, 2013?

How many jobs did Moody’s predict the Obama administration would create in 2012 and what was his record from January 20, 2013 through today?

What Moody’s did not say is how many jobs we need per month just to deep up with the difference between people entering the work force and people retiring from the work force plus one two hundred and eighth of the number of people who have been discourage enough to stop looking for work who are not retired. That number is probably something on the order of 125,000 jobs a week. Since 4*52*125,000 is 26 million, a Hillary economy would be a disaster as bad as the Obama economy.

Hillary’s economy is Obama’s economy.

And Obama’s economy is bad, very bad.

This is nonsense and a lie from Moody’s.

take your pick of links, they say the same:

http://cis.org/all-employment-growth-since-2000-went-to-immigrants

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/381362/study-all-employment-growth-2000-went-immigrants-nro-staff

in this ‘factcheck’ article, notice that the jobs they claim didn’t go to illegals/migrants, went to people OVER the age of 65 (which would be part-time jobs that older people on social security had to take to meet living expenses)

They are basing this on “ the country needs to “INVEST in education, infrastructure”, etc. Those are the key words to more stimulus and government spending, not helping ordinary citizens but helping unions and public employees. Government investment is code word for government redistribution.

Yeah this jacka$$ gave his "report" on Trump in June and it was all doom and gloom:

Having said this, what he is asking for is fiscally unsound. His tax and spending proposals will result in very large deficits and a much higher debt load. A future Congress may be able to rein in this profligacy, but it will not be easy, as there is a gulf between what he says he wants on taxes and spending and what it will take to make the budget arithmetic work. He is also very suspicious of globalization. His willingness to threaten higher tariffs on U.S. trading partners and his sharp criticism of major trade deals signal a reversal on the long-running expansion of U.S. trade and foreign investment. Requiring millions of undocumented immigrants to leave the country also signals less openness to the rest of the world. The upshot of Mr. Trump’s economic policy positions under almost any scenario is that the U.S. economy will be more isolated and diminished.

Not so good since 94 million are out work and millions of illegals are streaming in.
