day (wish I could remember where, so I could give you the reference) showing that over the past 50 years the economy has performed better, on average, under Democratic administrations than Republican. They included employment rate, income, and other major economic statistics in the analysis.
I'm curious, Manu159--you've mentioned previously that you would like to abolish social security, among other entitlement programs. What would you propose in its stead to prevent old people from starving to deat in their homes (the reason SS was created in the first place)? I personally favor raising the retirement age considerably, to reflect increased life expectancy, but can't see how it could be abolished.
