[On the left is a] chart showing private-sector job creation in the  latter half of  2010, when stimulus money was still being spent, and  when Democrats  enjoyed the congressional majority.  [On the right is] a  chart showing private-sector job creation so far in 2011,  after  stimulus spending largely ended, Republicans took control of the  U.S.  House and most of the nation’s gubernatorial offices, and the  national  discourse pivoted from jobs to the deficit and debt.
