Damn straight. The economy was a mess seven years ago and very few of us were sitting pretty.
Like the past seven years?
More specifically, in our household our investment portfolio more than doubled in these past seven short years. That's over 11% annualized and goes a long way towards making up for zero net growth at the end of eight years of Republican economic malfeasance, eight years that not only will we never get back, but that severely damaged our economy.
It's no coincidence that the three longest economic expansions in our nation's history occurred during Democratic leadership - the '60s under Kennedy/Johnson, the '90s under Bill Clinton, and the current seven year run under President Obama. It stands to reason if you think about it. All Democrats have to do is reverse the previous Republican administration's policies and we can't help but grow and prosper.
Clinton cooked the books to take credit for a recovery that began in 1992. Obama's "recovery" is the weakest (<3%) since WW2. But don't let the facts get in the way of your diatribe.
