Ok ... I was traveling and otherwise busy the past few days and the political nonsense got past me.  We are all old enough and smart enough to know that every politician looks out only for him/her self.  Trying to prove this isn't true lights neon signs of ignorance.  Let's remain above such things here.

Going back to 1929, if one had invested $10,000.00 in the S&P Index, one would have over $300,671.00 as of last fall, with their investment under Democrat presidents. The same investment under Republicans would have given you a balance of $11,733.00. The average annulaized return under Democrats would have been 8.9%. Under the Repubs, a whopping 0.4%.
 

1953-1960(Eisenhower Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went UP by 228%

1961-1968(Kennedy-Johnson Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went DOWN by 48%

1969-1976(Nixon-Ford Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went UP by 229%

1977-1980 (Carter Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went DOWN by 8%

1981-1992 (Reagan-Bush I Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went UP by 3%

1993-2000 (Clinton Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went DOWN by 47%

2001-2008 (Bush II Administration) Unemployment Percentage Rate went UP by 86%

 

Let me conclude by sharing with you some other factual data that can be gleaned from government data sources, and unless I note it the data doesn’t included the last four years of the Bush II presidency, because to do so would only exacerbate the reality of what has happened under Republican leadership over the last few decades.
