Are Republican Presidents Bad for the Economy? Who knew?

Might as well mention it to Biden, too- last year, he said that executive orders were for dictators.

i'm going to predict your going to get a whole lot of chances to be unhappy about that.. we shall see...he's going to get plenty of help from congress in that regard as well.. i get the feeling Bernie as the budget comm. chair is going to stress out a buncha rich folks...

In this study....I consider Clinton a more successful president than any republican since maybe Eisenhower.....and the republicans who attacked him over a blow job then accept the nonsense that Gingrich and the other poop Republican husbands go....meh.

Did you not see the graph with Ford leading, at times?

I was referring to Clinton's Presidential duties, not his hot, hot, hot sex.

You been dipping into that right wing conspiracy stuff again? I see this https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/29/politics/fact-check-biden-executive-orders-dictator/index.html

How is it not particularly important? If Clinton had an unfavorable Congress, not much would have been done and we know people consider him to be a successful POTUS.

at *this moment* congressional makeup is incredibly important.. and the gop is about to find that out.. this is of course speculation, but i'd bet good money on it..

With Pelosi & her hubby being worth over $120M (I wonder how his $1M investment in Tesla will work out, considering the Biden comment that he wants all Federal vehicles to be electric), I kind of think she won't like Biden if he tries to get Congress to pass high income tax on the wealthy, especially if it raises capital gains tax. I'm sure they can put it in something that will allow huge gains without taxation, though.

Geez- I though the comment was from an MSNBC clip- I'll have to find that again.

Now you're worried about this sort of thing? I doubt the Pelosis will have an issue like a tight ass republican like yourself in any case

i don't worry about right wing gossip directed at trying to ecxite their base .. pelosi *can't* oppose high taxes on the wealthy, based on party platform, that's all i worry about.. there's a whole agenda that's about to be unfurled in the next 2 yrs...and you can thank trump for writing the blueprint.. difference is the dems may actually get something done.. here's a posthumous thanks to McCain for stopping crazy Donny...

If you want to complain about a democrat and their investor husband's politics, try Dianne and Richard.....he's definitely republican scum. (but pure republican scum is much better of course)

I think the article cracks open the long-held assumption that presidents have very little to do with national economic performance. It doesn't prove or disprove anything, but it does show a stark pattern that has been true in the USA for 14 presidents, 22 presidential 4-year terms, over a time span of 88 years, nearly a century. The economy has grown significantly faster under Democratic presidents than Republican ones – strong evidence that a president may very well have an effect over the economy.

I was surprised as well by the pattern over such a long time. While a US President's policy of course has effects on the economy, I was more thinking that the biggest influence ("control") was how crises are handled.

If you look at the Nordic countries they have been very successful in growing their economies after WWW2, and that was mainly under Social Democratic government.
