Crusader; what Billy Baloney and friends fail to address is-------->they use the words Democrats/Republicans as phrases akin to economic policy. They are NOT economic policy, they are political party's.
Consider--------->Did JFK economic policies do well for the country? Yes they did! But, if you examine those policies, which President between the 2 did they more closely mirror, Biden or Reagans? When Clinton was President and the economy went well, what economic policies; especially in the 2nd term, did his ideas mirror?
Now, look at Biden! Exactly which policies does his administration mirror? And, does the national debt allow for such policies to even be considered because of massive spending causing inflation? Can we imagine how much WORSE inflation would have been if he would have been able to pass another 5 trillion in spending known as Build Back Better!
The success of an administration is not relegated to which party holds the Whitehouse, but rather the person sitting in the chair, along with the people in congress he has to work with, for if this was not so, then some Democratic Presidents policies would not be seen as conservative today, and former Republican President policies seen by todays standards as more liberal.
With that all being said, today we have the Democrats in charge of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Look at the state of the country! They insist it is not their fault this is happening. Well then, if their words are true and they didn't cause it, and really can't do anything about it, then Billy Baloneys thread premise is bogus, lol. Because if those in power are basically helpless to fix these things, then obviously past administrations numbers were all just the luck of the draw, heghehehehehe.
Fortunately, Americans do not think like this. They intuitively believe that the Lefts solutions........or lack of solutions, has us going in the wrong direction, this shown by virtually every poll taken regardless if the pollster is Left or Right. So again, Democrat or Republican designations, are NOT economic philosophies perse. The economic philosophy is driven by the people in charge. And, Americans see the people in charge today, as incompetent. They will be justly rewarded for their incompetence come November, and that is the bottom line, no matter how hard Mr Baloney and friends, try and obfuscate the issue!
Coolidge remains my Hero
