Well, it must be true because you guys say so.
The economy is bad because the people and our leaders are corrupt as hell.

Fox has failed. Most americans hold republicans responsible for the financial failure.
Most Americans don't know FDR and the Democrats ran the Tuskegee Experiments, think LBJ was a great civil rights leader and think Progressive Social Programs run on hope and change instead of money
Amazing that Republicans still try to ram down the same FAILED economic policies down our throats
Cut taxes without cutting spending
Yea...real fiscal responsibility
You going to take up the challenge and show me the year that the Massive New Deal Spending and redirection of the US economy ended the Depression?
FDR US Unemployment 1933: 24.9, 1934: 21.7%, 1935: 20.1%, 1936: 16.9%, 1937: 14.3%, 1938: 19.0%, 1939: 17.2%
New Deal=Great Society=Obamanomics=Epic Fail
Unemployment fell 10% until the government decided to balance the budget and the Fed increased banking reserves, both in 1938. Unemployment then spiked. Guess who today wants to balance the budget today? Guess who wants to limit the actions of the Fed?
For the record, FDR's budget deficits in the mid-30s was 4.5% of GDP. Reagan's were nearly 6% at the highest level. W's deficits were 3.5%.

"W"? You don't mean George Bush? It will take years before anyone actually knows what his budgets were.
He left off the cost of both wars (at least 3 trillion right there), he left off the lost revenue from the tax cuts to the rich, he left off the cost of the "Drugs for votes bill". Who knows what else will be discovered. Every day brings a new scandal left over from the worst administration in history. Everything the Republicans touched turned to shit. It even stains this administration.

That experiment started before Shirley Temple became famous and ended the year Janis Joplin died. I seem to remember there were a few conservative administrations during that time. Don't you?

"Tinkle Down" Theory anyone?
Borrow money to cut taxes on the rich?
Start two wars and cut taxes to pay for them?
RAZ: Do you hold President Obama and his economic policies responsible for some of this growing deficit?
Mr. STOCKMAN: Absolutely. The only thing worse than the Republican leadership position is that of the White House.

As opposed to trying to ram down the same FAILED economic policies of socialism down our throats.
Raising taxes and wildly increase spending at all time historical rates.
Yea...thats REAL fiscal responsibility.
This post is like blaming the victim for being a victim. Those who continue to blame republicans for the bad economy are delusional. and can never accept the truth. Do you honestly tink that Americans want another 6 more years of democratic control? Go out and have some fun enjoy the last days od democratic control for a very very very long time.No comment, none needed. The truth hurts.
Reagan insider: GOP destroyed economy Paul B. Farrell - MarketWatch
"We've arrived at a historic turning point as a nation that no longer needs outside enemies to destroy us, we are committing suicide. Democracy. Capitalism. The American dream. All dying. Why? Because of the economic decisions of the GOP the past 40 years, says this leading Reagan Republican.
Please listen with an open mind, no matter your party affiliation: This makes for a powerful history lesson, because it exposes how both parties are responsible for destroying the U.S. economy. Listen closely: "
"In the past 40 years Republican ideology has gone from solid principles to hype and slogans. Stockman says: "Republicans used to believe that prosperity depended upon the regular balancing of accounts -- in government, in international trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the financial affairs of private households and businesses too."
No more. Today there's a "new catechism" that's "little more than money printing and deficit finance, vulgar Keynesianism robed in the ideological vestments of the prosperous classes" making a mockery of GOP ideals. Worse, it has resulted in "serial financial bubbles and Wall Street depredations that have crippled our economy." Yes, GOP ideals backfired, crippling our economy.
Stockman's indictment warns that the Republican party's "new policy doctrines have caused four great deformations of the national economy, and modern Republicans have turned a blind eye to each one:"

Why do you guys keep saying that? I'm mystified.
Def of the US Congress.
a. The national legislative body of the United States, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
During the two years you are talking about Democrats held only 49 seats in the Senate with the Republicans holding 49 seats and there were two Independents. Not a single meaningful piece of legislation was passed.
Democrats today can only pass ANYTHING with 60 votes and yet, with 49 THEY CONTROLLED CONGRESS????????
Are you guys lying? Full of shit? Really don't know? Which is it?

Common Republican misconception...
You don't work because some rich person is giving you charity. You provide a valuable service which the business owner derives much more profit from your labor than he pays you.
The day he stops drawing profit off your labor, he fires you
