Dems Remain Better on the Economy

John Perr posted Bush Latest GOPer to Show Democrats Better for the Economy at Crooks & Liars and his blog.

As should be self-evident by now, deregulation to the degree that Republicans consistenly promote doesn't actually help the overall economy. It only stuffs the pockets of the top 1%. The 2 major indexes of economic growth (GDP and Employment) do much better on average under Democratic administrations compared to Republican.

It is nice to see how much a failure Bush was overall (to help disprove Conservative economic philosphy, not the fact he harmed the American economy), by starting and ending on a recession and having the worst average drop in the S&P 500 since Hoover.

Its time to wake up and think like Truman.

“If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democratic!”
