  1. I have my theories, but I’d like to point out they’ve consistently been getting worse with each turn at the wheel.  At this rate, what will this admin’s numbers end up being?

    edit: By ‘they’ I was referring to the red boxes that show an obvious downward trend over time. 

  2. They are NOT. You cannot measure the impact of democrats vs republicans on the economy because the economy is too large and too complicated. A policy enacted in year x might take 10 years to cause the damage and maybe that year the interest rates go down and a war ends so nobody even notices. There’s too many variables to control for. These graphs are plain misinformation. 

  3. I love how that bitch is the only negative on the map 🤣

  4. Democratic administrations invest in more than just billionaires. Programs like WIC may cost the government money but it pays off when that baby is able to grow up and add to the economy. Right now the republican administration gave billionaires a 4.5 trillion dollar tax break and cut 2 trillion dollars in healthcare, food, and public broadcasting. What helps the economy more?

  5. Government should exist for the benefit of all citizens. Republicans are the party of business so to them government exists to benefit business (not workers, not consumers, just capitalists). Consequently, job growth, which is a very narrow measure of business, doesn’t necessarily do well under R presidents. Business can be good but has to be mitigated to maximize social benefit. Rs are the party of the rich, who ALREADY are rich so they are not focussed on the needs of the wanna-be rich, just protecting the already-are rich.

  6. Biden invested into a lot of renewable energy jobs. Renewable energy creates significantly more jobs than coal does.

  7. Democrats support fiscal spending to create jobs for the working and middle class. Republicans believe in “trickle-down economics” whereby giving tax cuts to the rich will lead them to create more jobs. The data you see are the outcome of these two different styles of running an economy.

  8. Wallstreet focuses on profits.

    Big government spending, massive contracts, and mandetory purchasing of unattractive technology (like first mover wind, solar, ev, etc…) has always been a Democrat activist agenda item. They pick winners and losers. The market REALLY likes having guaranteed wins… even if the consumer ultimately loses out by paying more taxes, business is only worried about spending on the front end.

    This isnt news to anyone… though many try to deny its true.

  9. With Trump rat fucking the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you can count on next quarter’s job growth being +1,000,000,000,000 jobs

  10. Republicans take funding from programs to fill their pockets and that leaves a huge negative impact on communities. Democrats fund those programs that make life easier so more prosperity for communities.

  12. Why is a monkey with no hammer less destructive than a monkey with a hammer?

  14. The Democrats make more strategic investments. When you make educated strategic investments, you boost the economy end of story. When all you do is try to cut spending, this is not enriching the economy in any shape or form. It is simply reducing what the economy is capable of producing. When you focus on production, production supports jobs and passing programs that improve opportunity and flow of production. Ultimately add dollars to the economy.

  15. Well you need to remember that the republicans fuck up the job market sooo bad when they are in office that its actually pretty easy fpr the dems to put up good numbers. So its really a better question to ask, why are the republicans so awesome at fucking things up

  17. Same reason I always win at the casino when I go early in the mornings instead of late a night. Easy. Just do that. Duh.
