It can take years for political policy changes to show any significant impact on the economy. There are ways of measuring this, but saying that "x" happened in a given year because a party was in control that year is incredibly simplistic. It's no more logical or realistic than a witch doctor claiming his chants cause a rain storm. He performed his act and then it rained. Must be true. |
Zico 20 speculated with absolutely no proof that job growth under Democratic Congresses was probably negative. I did not see you shooting off your mouth about that.
You say you have a magic formula for measuring when and how a particular action takes effect. Why don't you share that with us? What I do know is that if the Republicans are in power and the economy improves, they are very quick to take credit. And if the Democrats are in power and the economy gets worse, the Republicans are very quick to place blame. And there is no nonsense about lets wait to see what the effects are.
All this crap about correlation is not causation is just that. Job growth under Democratic presidents is twice as good as under Republican presidents. That is proof enough for me. Nothing would be proof enough for you.
