All the racist stuff and culture war BS is a distraction. Economists studied the data and found republicans are bad for the economy, which is what everyone who’s lives through their policies would tell you. They help out their wealthy donors, which is why they get the “good for economy” label but that’s a lie and myth.
Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy by 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.
Republicans are just bad at running the country on so many levels.
Hoover and Roosevelt really drag the averages around.
The way they calculated, almost half of the “credit” for Democrat growth was Roosevelt.
And hoover single handedly cuts the R number by 30% as a result of him having massive negative growth.
They addressed this in the article. If both are taken out of the data set the Democrats still come out ahead.
I realize I didn’t explicitly say that, and that in the politically charged environment it was probably assumed I was shilling R.
I love data sets, that’s all.
