Comments on: Economy Better Under Democrats Than Republicans? http://www.misanthropytoday.com/economy-better-under-democrats-than-republicans/ Hating Everyone Since 2005 .............(This Could Take Awhile) Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:10:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pete Vanden Bosch http://www.misanthropytoday.com/economy-better-under-democrats-than-republicans/#comment-6096 Pete Vanden Bosch Tue, 18 May 2010 16:02:27 +0000 http://www.misanthropytoday.com/?p=885#comment-6096 I just took a rough look at deficit, another interesting measure of fiscal responsibility. Increases in deficit are not correlated well with House or Senate composition, but they are with President. In fact, the rule is that deficits go up under Republican presidents and down under Democrats. The last exception for Republicans was Nixon, and the last exception for Democrats was Roosevelt. Looks like President Obama is certain to break this trend -- but like Roosevelt, he has inherited an unprecidented threat to national viability.
