THE STRAIGHT ECONOMIC DOPE!

I RECENTLY learned the party occupying the White House during a recession or depression was never returned by the voters the following presidential election.

After looking at the record, I can clearly feel safe and secure about a Democrat being inaugurated next January. Take a look, and you will understand why!



THE STATS FROM HARDING IN 1921 TO BUSH IN 2003:

1-Democrats held White House for 40 years and Republicans for 42.5 years.

2-Democrats created 75,820,000 net new jobs — Republicans 36,440,000.

3-Per Year new-job Average—Democrats 1,825,200—Republicans 856,400.

4-Republicans had 9 presidents during the period and 6 had depression or recession.

5-Republicans had a recession/depression in 177 months and Democrats in 32 months.

6-DOW—1928 to 2003—Stock market gained 11% average per year under D presidents versus 2% under R presidents. Small Cap stocks gained 18% as yearly average under D and minus 3% under R.GDP—grew by 43% more under Democrats.

But these stats only extended through 2003. Add the last 4+ years and you will really see a true GOP disaster.

Actually ... it is a no-brainer. #1... McCain sounds like GW and is almost attached to Cheney's nipple at this point... and no one sane should vote for this man. Geeeeece. This Leaves two dems on the ticket choice. And OMG just look at the two. So-- given that we only have two to choose from... this is my 'current' thinking. [and please rememnber-- I like NO ONE who is running!]... Hilliary is part of the upper big boy club, has been for a long long time... and I personally can not get past the Menna Airport thing, Whitewater and her acting like she was the all forgiving wife... when she actually was only mad she had to deal with what she already knew about in public. So-- given we have had the worst 8 years as a nation, short of the civil war... Barrack couldn't do any worse. What the hell-- as long as the house and senate will get their heads out of their greedy asses... and do their jobs, why not Barrack? If we're all grabbing handbags... let's just head off to hell together, shall we?! lol
