Interesting Chart

[EspressoBuzz]

I found this chart while collecting some old Economist Magazines for recycling, of course the Great Depression happened when Herbert Hoover ® was in office and this chart starts just after that. But i wonder why with few exception the Republican Presidents have had less GDP growth than Democratic Presidents.

This is the only chart that matters right now:

This one is also interesting. Look who the big spenders are.

Right, i forgot, If it's not from YOUR source it doesn't count, If it's not what YOU deem important it doesn't count, if it doesn't fit YOUR narrative it doesn't count.

 

Everywhere the GDP is the number that matters most to people who report on the economic health of our country but not the only number but the most significant, except in your world, in your world you don't have to cite a source you can just wing it.

 

I'm curious did you speak out against Bush Jr. when he created the biggest deficits ever and the second biggest depression ever? I wish we had a record of where you stood then.

Your such a cry baby. I merely indicated the other side of the story.

No you said  "The only chart that matters right now" (about a chart that is not from an unbiased source)

 

But lets look at YOUR second chart first:

 

Roosevelt/Truman had war debt. Each of the following presidents lowered the deficit until Reagan, beginning with Reagan each republican president had higher debt at the end of their term than the beginning ending with Bush Jr who's 3 trillion dollar war doesn't even show up on your first chart (why? ask Libertyworks.com). The chart interestingly ends before it shows the deficit going down again under Obama. Only one chart has a source cited and it's a republican megaphone not to mention you ignored the question asked of you.

 

It's not crying it's exasperation at the outright lies in the face of fiscal facts. I suppose the economy isn't getting better too. I know I know your personal economy isn't getting better and that's all that counts.

Didn't we all get a small check when President Bush came into office because there was a surplus?

[EspressoBuzz]

Yes I think so, the surplus from the Clinton years.
