Scott Westerfeld does the math on the economy of the U.S. under Republican vs. Democrat control.
Since World War II the Democrats have been overwhelmingly better at running the economy. Hands down, case closed, beyond any statistical doubt. They’ve borrowed less money, created more wealth and opportunity, and left the next generation in better shape.
Now these are bold claims, and maybe you’re shaking your head. But let’s look at the numbers.
And he then goes on to break down the numbers in ways that even innumerate folks like myself can follow. It’s interesting reading and well worth the gander.
Yeah, but the Republicans always have a better story, and that’s what counts.
Thanks for this link, Mary. I like it. It’s what I’ve always thought. Nice to see it in numbers.
Thanks for pointing out this essay. I’m sending it on as well; and I’d like to have that little bar graph on a T-shirt.
