To be blunt and straight to the point, Democrats are economically inept to the point of insanity. They wish they understood it, so they parade around as though they do. The results are that they essentially turn the discipline on its head in order to justify their feelings of a society where no one has to work, ownership is best when it's by everyone instead of an individual and that money is the result of the state spending, not private industry.
So they flail around, change definitions, make shit up and general run afoul what otherwise works just fine without intervention.
Last FOUR recessions happened on Republican watches...
I think it's hard for you guys to make the argument you know what you are doing.
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.
However, the one under Reagan didn't have anything to do with Reagan, and the first recession under W had nothing to do with him.
Also, recessions used to happen every 4-5 years prior to the 80s. Afterwards, they happened every 8-10 years. So if we use that line of thinking, Republicans can argue that recessions happened less under them than in the past.
