1/ Democrats or Republicans? Which political party is better for the country? Here are some facts to help you decide:
1. Since 1948, ten of the eleven recessions have occurred under Republican Presidents - about one recession every six years.

2/ 2. Democratic presidents create more than twice as many jobs per year as Republican Presidents. As of 2022, former President Bill Clinton was the president who created the most jobs in the United States, at 18.6 million jobs created during his eight year term in office

3/ 3. Republican lawmakers say that Democrats are spendthrifts, right? Wrong! Very wrong!
Republican presidents' deficits are 54% larger than Democrats' and GDP growth has been 75% higher under Democratic Presidents.

4/ President Ronald Reagan inherited from Jimmy Carter a deficit of $78.9 billion, according to Politifact. When he left office, it was $152.6 billion.
His successor, President George H.W. Bush inherited $152.6 billion. When he left office, the deficit was $255 billion.

5/ It fell to the Democratic President Bill Clinton to clean up this mess (just like always the Democrats cleaning up after the Republicans);
by the time he left office the federal budget was in
SURPLUS to the tune of $236 billion.

6/ President George W. Bush, ELIMINATED the surplus in record time with income-tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; when he left office,
the deficit was $1.41 trillion.
President Barack Obama halved that to $584.6 billion.

7/ Trump pushed it back up to $3.1 trillion, and
President Biden last year nosed it down to $2.8 trillion.
4. Business Investment Growth has been 126% higher under Democratic Presidents.

8/ How about the stock market?
Up 226 percent under Clinton, up 145.4 percent under Obama, per Rosenberg and Tomasky.
By comparison, it was up 45.7 percent under George H.W. Bush and up 36.7 percent under Trump.

9/ 6. Unemployment under Republican Presidents has been 15% higher than under Democratic Presidents
7. The six presidents with the fastest job-growth rate (per Leonhardt and Serkez) were the
Democrats Roosevelt, Johnson, Carter, Truman, Kennedy, and Clinton.

10/ Four presidents who logged the slowest job-growth rate were all Republicans (Eisenhower; the two Bushes; and, again in last place, Trump, the only president in the past nine decades to lose more jobs than he created) Biden's job creation, 10.7m jobs is 5 times as many jobs

11/ as were created in the 16 years of the last 3 Republican Presidencies, combined.
Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans...

12/ The question is: why don’t Democrats talk more about their superior record on economics?
Why are the people in our country still voting for Republicans, against their own interests? Why?
