So even if I accept as fact that this was "a huge topic of discussion even in 2010," we are now in 2015, and should consider more recent job creation numbers. You have also repeatedly stated that you only accept BLS data on job creation. BLS data is publicly available. Where is the data that you are referring to?G.
