Democrats are better suited to run an economy?

[WTH_Progs?]

You hear it all the time. Even by the "scholars" who work in the Democrat's favor. Well, the data simply doesn't support that theory. By the way, if you don't know the purpose for Congress and Senate, may I suggest School House Rock, it's on Youtube, "I'm just a Bill on Capitol Hill". Simpletons like to believe POTUS run an economy, well gee, the house and senate have a function. That said, it's often better that the govt. just stays out of the way, they're good at fucking shit up. Just look at the mandate for EV, for instance. That shit's going to fail.

The data on top are the results for POTUS, Congress and Senate. I've bolded the better results for each category. Some of the data isn't available, and where it's not, the averages are based on the number of years that data is available. It would seem the current administration has changed the way crime statistics are accounted for, and presented.

The data comes from the grid in the second post. If you don't like the numbers, explain why. Last thing I need is to provide BS data.

What is causing us the most problems is that most dem voters think their policies are for the good of America while admitting that Republicans are better for the economy. They favor Republicans to handle the economy but they don't like Republican economic policies.

the keynesian model us the best picture of an economy that we have. repubs will have to show me that their faith based model comes even close before i do more than laugh atyour reply.

since 1981 the economy has been used as a weapon against the poor and democrats . here is how:

First, when Republicans control the federal government, and particularly the White House, spend money like a drunken sailor and run up the US debt as far and as fast as possible. This produces three results – it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy, it raises the debt dramatically, and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Claus.”


Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” This will force the Democrats in power to cut their own social safety net programs, thus shooting their welfare-of-the-American-people Santa Claus.

that is from a 2013 salon article that you probably won;t read, but the wikiperia article on "jude wanniski" explains the two santa claus theory as well as anything.

I read consistent with the OP, where I wrote Democracked scholars suggest Demonicrats are better suited to run an economy.

For instance, debt increased 8 trillion dollars with O'bummer as POTUS, and a Democracked run Congress. That was nearly DOUBLE the total before they arrived.

As for Xiden, debt has increased nearly 7 trillion bucks over just the last 2 years and 11 months.

if course it is. an economy is as much defined by government policy, deliberately or not, as government itself is defined by the economy.

While this is pure gold and unquestionably true, how can someone say this, then support the Democrats? That's nuts

 

[Resnic]

But government policies and actions directly effect the economy. The economy is a bi product of a countries governance. So in order for the government to cease controlling the economy we would need to dissolve the government.

"wealth of nations" was written in 1776. it is safe to assume that the founders had at most a rudimentary grasp of macroeconomics.

"wealth of nations" was written in 1776. it is safe to assume that the founders had at most a rudimentary grasp of macroeconomics.

You think "wealth of nations" said that government creates the economy by regulating it? That's fucking stupid. Government destroys value, it creates nothing that isn't paid for by stealing the money from wealth creators.

"The economy is a bi product of a countries governance."

That's the most stupid shit ever. I take it by your avoidance you are a product of a failed government school. Figures
