Just like how most of the national debt reductions have been during democratic administrations.
It’s almost like tax cuts for “job creators” don’t really create jobs. 🤔
Trump was on camera saying dems were better for the economy or some shit many years ago.
I'm also just some guy but wasn't this debunked? Don't get me wrong, despise Trump, but like does anyone have a source of this video? Might be confusing this with one of the other things he maybe said on tape so full grain of salt y'all!
I found this:
Cheers! I must be thinking of a different egregious offense of his.
Hard to keep up with the absolute pile of bullshit surrounding that weird guy..
Pretty sure the reason I know about it is because someone posted it to the old site.
He had plenty of videos showing him as pretty rational before. I think old age got to him eventually though.
He has been known to lie occasionally
The article does call out that 1989 is a pretty arbitrary starting point, and extending that to 1945 creates a less lopsided (but still Democrat-favoring) picture.
I'd be interested in the comparison looking back to Nixon, as he was a stark departure from the republican party of Eisenhower. And of course he lead to Reagan, Bush 1&2, and Trump.
I think it's a fine starting point if Republicans haven't been job creators for 35 years which is almost the entire millennial generation. What a bleak view, honestly.
I am 38, grew up in WI, spent the majority of my life in various Midwestern states, and for over a decade now have lived in Boston. I always say that, ignoring everything else (which is a lot), I have never seen a Republican governing body ever do anything but make life worse--be it state or federal. I have no experience of Republicans as anything but utterly incompetent failures at statescraft.
Yeah it gives you enough time to see the long term effects of neoliberalism selling off public assets kicking in, instead of the temporary cash influx.
