Eight of the last 9 recessions were under Republican presidents
Need I say more?

But we have to give them credit: at least they try.

2 RepliesActually, it's the Fed's fault. But I know it's much easier to peg this on one political party or the other.

12 RepliesCongress has more control over it than the president so then I point you to this. [quote]2008 recession: Democrat controlled Congress; 2001-2002 recession: Split control of Congress 1990-1991 recession: Democrat controlled Congress 1981-1982 recession: Split control of Congress 1969-1970 recession: Democrat controlled Congress[/quote]

JFK was ASSASSINATED under liberal rule I think that's way worse

2 RepliesI am certainly no fan of Republican economic policies, but based on a simple understanding of statistics, this is not a good argument against them. If you aren't running a randomized experiment or case-control studies, cause and effect between explanatory (Republican president) variables and outcome (frequency of recessions) variables is bogus.

5 RepliesSeparating America further by creating more of a party gap is not helpful at all. 9 of the last 9 recessions happened under incompetent presidents. If you want to play the party game, the liberals haven't done shit as of late, and both conservatives and liberals have decided they would rather watch our country burn then work together. We don't need a liberal president, or a conservative president. We need a competent president. For christ's sake can we get someone in office with some f[i]u[/i]cking common sense!

3 Replies100% of all recessions were under a president

7 RepliesU are such a idiot. Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagon inherited these recessions. They actually helped the country get back to its feet. And notice how Obama isn't on here another liberal biased website. Obama doubled bush's debt in 4 years when bush was in office for eight. And it depends on the congress to not just the president. The congress has been democratically controlled majority of the last 50 years

3 RepliesLet's not forget the Fed that is supposed to PREVENT those.

It matters not who is the President or who is in power in Congress. So long as the Federal Reserve controls the money supply and determines the interest rate, the business cycle will continue.

>implying the president's political party significantly affects the economy Not that I'm defending either the Democrats or Republicans.

I see an economy where it's increasingly hard to find entry-level positions. Are we still masochistic love-slaves of Obama and the Democrats?

2 RepliesYou're neglecting the Federal Reserve's role in the business cycle.

13 Replies>implying Democratic policies work any better If were into the discussion of bashing parties, why don't you take a look at Detroit hmm??? What does that say for the Democrats? Yeah their philosophy sucks ass, but we have to give them credit because they're trying.
