Assuming that the person you support for this election ends up NOT winning, how do you think that will change your life over the next 4 years?

In regards to your comment



"I think Obama will be marginally worse for the economy, because a democrat president coupled with a democrat congress will be more inclined to both tax and spend."



I would like to direct you to this article:



Politicians Lie, Numbers Don't

And the numbers show that Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans.



http://www.slate.com/id/2199810/



I'd copy and paste it but I have no idea how to format it so it looks decent and the clickable table which is arguably the most important part of the article won't cut and paste. Sorry!!



Again - this is a broad generalization over many democratic and republican administrations, but since you also made a generalization in your post, you probably won't mind :-)

That chart in no way disputes her post. Your chart was simply about economic performance and presidential party. It did not do a comparison between years when a president and congress are of the same or different parties.

I disagree. If you click on the table you can see a year by year analysis and do your own number crunching based on the content of congress during those years. I haven't done this yet - but the information is there. When I get a chance I'll look at it and figure it out but if you are so concerned you can do it yourself and let us know what you find. The chart could dispute her post - you just may have to do a tiny bit of math, which I do not have time to do right now.

oh I bet if someone posted some numbers from that chart right now -- you'd redo that math before they could blink ;-)

Note my comment - a democratic president and a democratic congress.
