• Personal disposable income has grown nearly 6 times more under Democratic presidents
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown 7 times more under Democratic presidents
• Corporate profits have grown over 16% more per year under Democratic presidents (they actually declined under Republicans by an average of 4.53%/year)
• Average annual compound return on the stock market has been 18 times greater under Democratic presidents (If you invested $100k for 40 years of Republican administrations you had $126k at the end, if you invested $100k for 40 years of Democrat administrations you had $3.9M at the end)
• Republican presidents added 2.5 times more to the national debt than Democratic presidents
• The two times the economy steered into the ditch (Great Depression and Great Recession) were during Republican, laissez faire administrations

Well, then. That settles it.

Well some people say a lot of the deregulation that caused the 2008 crash came under Clinton. While this is true, signs that imbalances were building in the economy were clear throughout the Bush admin and he did NOTHING to reign them in. The things you see the Cdn govt do, like tightening lending standards to cool things off, nothing like that was ever done under Dubya....

Gee, that might be just a tad simplistic.... and let's face it, the POTUS has no idea what he's doing....

Funny coming from you. You are one of the most knee jerk, simplistic posters in this forum save Woody.

Interesting.... I always thought Forbes was a Republican....

I would think that just on investing in the auto industry alone in comparison to Romney wanting to let it go south, the President has a relatively good grasp of what he's doing along with his aides.

Would it be safe to assume you approved of George W.'s work ethic and what he had done in his 8 years in office? Because there are many in the U.S. and more so around the world who would most definitely say he was incredibly incompetent. [if you look up "Bushisms" on YouTube, that'll give you an idea]

Come on ...you have to use KISS when dealing with them.
Unless the argument can be reduced to a bumper sticker or a lapel button, they will remain in a perpetual state of befuddlement!....

 

[Asterix]

If you say so. OTB has a talent for reducing things to their lowest common denominator, and winds up saying very little at all.

Is he the one with the brain... or his Daddy?

His daddy made more sense while his son is more on the daft side....
