    What? Republicans trash the economy then leave the next Democrat to fix it.

    But because the changes in policy take time to affect the economy, it looks like the democrat caused it.

    But every time, the Democrats end with an improving economy and the Republicans end with a declining economy.

      You think Ds have ever fixed the economy?

      New Deal was a long time ago, they’ve fucked it up ever since, hand in hand with Rs.

      Coincidentally, the leadership and a sizeable chunk of BoTh PaRtIeS are filthy rich! And their families! For generations…

      I wonder why their wealth grows substantially after taking office? It is a mystery ¯_(ツ)_/¯

        Tell me you haven’t looked at any data on the subject without telling me you haven’t looked at any data on the subject.

        It’s more like they start to unfuck the things that Republicans fuck up, but never completely before the next Republican rolls in to continue the tear down. And they never quite get to the part where the wealthy have to give up their tax breaks or limit political spending …
