The Inconvenient Truth About The Economy: Democrats Do It Better

[pknopp]

The electorate doesn't care enough, evidently.

They care a ton for their respected cults.

Voter ID not allowing illegals to be counted and used in apportionment, stop mail in ballots unless out of the country or disabled. Then democrats lose

Trump mailed in his vote. As I've often noted.....Trump has done most the of things MAGA condemns.

That's not where electric rates are going up the fastest.

My state is making gang buster profits, But still got an increase,
and our now going for a second raise. How is your state doing?

The U.S. economy has performed much better under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents in the modern era.

Correct.

In the last thirty years alone, we’ve witnessed Democratic presidents clean up the economic mess made by Republican presidents:

The Reagan/Bush recession.

The Bush Great Recession.

The Trump recession.

Jones? Nevermind, you're an idiot

Well, most American's think Trump has made it even worse than it was under Biden. So if you believe polls, which you clearly do since you posted one, you should be really worried about the economy now.

52 percent of U.S. adults say Trump has made the economy worse

Three major polls this week show Americans remain deeply pessimistic about affordability, opportunity, and their economic future. Your weekly political data roundup for February 8, 2026.

Because you loons are stupid and believe the media's lies.

Link to that platform please. Troll.

Personal opinion. You’d try to give everyone who didn’t want to work a free guaranteed income, you’d give other countries every concession they wanted regarding trade. We’d have to get even more in debt to china, you’d gut the military and our defense, we’d have to start giving them land to pay off our debt to them, eventually, being under crushing debt and having no military, we’d just have to surrender to China as a way out.

Because you loons are stupid and believe the media's lies.

So the media makes up recessions, makes up job growth, makes up deficit sizes? Did I get that right?

 

[LeftofLeft]

It is a very inconvenient truth for the GOP, that since WW2, the economy has performed significantly better under Democrats than Republicans. The exact reasons are debated, but the numbers are the numbers.

• Economic growth, job creation, and stock-market performance have historically been stronger, on average, during Democratic presidencies.
• Every Republican president over roughly the last 50 years has experienced a recession during their term.
• The overwhelming majority of net job creation over the past half-century occurred under Democratic presidents.
• Deficits widen during Republican administrations and narrow during Democratic ones (often after Democrats inherited large deficits).

Vote with your pocket book next election folks.

New report finds that the economy performs better under Democratic presidential administrations

For well over a decade economists and other social scientists have documented a strong advantage in economic performance during Democratic administrations. A new Economic Policy Institute report updates this work to the latest data available and confirms that this Democratic advantage persists...

The U.S. Economy Performs Better Under Democratic Presidents - The U.S. Economy Performs Better Under Democratic Presidents - United States Joint Economic Committee

The U.S. economy has performed much better under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents in the modern era. In almost every measure of the U.S. economy including total job growth, unemployment, economic growth, manufacturing job growth, manufacturing investment, small business creation, and contribution to the national debt, economic performance is stronger under Democrats. While there are many factors contributing to these trends, the throughline is clear that Democratic administrations consistently help the U.S. economy perform better than Republican administrations.

Then how and why did they lose in 2024?

 

[Anarchy666]

He was on the path of doing so after his first term until COVID. I guess you missed that we were doing quite well pre-COVID under Trump.

This is the #1 reason I now think it was a hoax, in addition to steal the election from Trump. Two birds, one stone.

Unquestionably in my mind.

Biden didn't put on Trump's crazy and probably illegal tariffs.

So it wouldn't be Biden's fault.

Both you and your “experts” are wrong about the tariffs. It’s ok, you will figure it out eventually.

 

[SweetTea]

Tell us again how they were eating dogs.

You don’t want to go there. Do I really need to point out all the fake news stories about Trump that the Democratic sheeple still buy to this day?

 

[pknopp]

Why don't I want to go there? Because I support it in a partisan manner such as yourself?

Like when I said the Russia, Russia, Russia crap was B.S.

I don't join cults unlike yourself.

You are the reason Trump will win again. This entire "Russia" thing is turning me and many others off big time.

 

[SweetTea]

Both party's favor the rich & famous. Who does a better job for the under 75 thousand, ?
Personal freedom to run your own life, or what church or party you belong to or books to read or music to hear,
how you are required to think, got to give this to the independents. those who look at both sides.
Those who think, not just follow the propaganda pushed out Hard every day.

Independents tend to bet very socially liberal but fiscally conservative. The problem is that these two things aren’t very compatible.

You can’t even get historical income tax rates from me. You should probably start there. In the meantime I’ll keep paying low rates so that my savings can trickle down to working class republicans. Don’t hold your breath.

You could always donate all the money you make above 400k to the government the next time a Democrat is in office who promises to spend it as you see fit. Ask all your buddies to the same. The thing is, none of you would do that and none of you will actually vote for it without a back door loophole that protects your money. It does make you feel better though to at least act as if you are willing to give the coat off your back to help. Am I right?

 

[SweetTea]

I don't join cults unlike yourself.

Sure you do. You are firmly in the anti-Trump cult. You believe Trump does nothing right and some believe he does nothing wrong. There is no difference.

We were already involved in Syria when Trump took office. Does no one pay any attention to anything?




Trump did have the right idea with Afghanistan but he didn't have the balls to do it. As I noted, Lindsey Graham controlled them.

 

[SweetTea]

Nice, defend Biden’s disastrous withdrawal by saving that Trump had the right idea, but didn’t the “balls to do it”. I’m not sure why you believe this defies your anti-Trump cult position.

For the record, Trump didn’t withdrawal because he knew it would turn out just as it did with Biden unless some additional parameters were in place. Biden was too stupid to realize that. Par for the course.

Nope. I will coast on your generosity. I need it so that I can trickle down some prosperity to the working class.
