    What? Republicans trash the economy then leave the next Democrat to fix it.

    But because the changes in policy take time to affect the economy, it looks like the democrat caused it.

    But every time, the Democrats end with an improving economy and the Republicans end with a declining economy.

      You think Ds have ever fixed the economy?

      New Deal was a long time ago, they’ve fucked it up ever since, hand in hand with Rs.

      Coincidentally, the leadership and a sizeable chunk of BoTh PaRtIeS are filthy rich! And their families! For generations…

      I wonder why their wealth grows substantially after taking office? It is a mystery ¯_(ツ)_/¯
