“No? Too bad Democrats weren’t in charge then.”
They were....
Economic policy is set by congress through their budgets and taxes. In 2006 the Democrats won the off year election by calling Bush’s and the Republican’s economy of 3% growth with <5% unemployment the worst economy since Hoover.
Taking power in 2007 the Dems set about making the train wreck of an economy they accused Bush of having. The American public doubled down on the Democrats by electing Obama twice with total Democrat power for 2 years and the Harry Reid obstructionist Senate for 6 years.
Only now do we have a Republican Congress......unfortunately it is led by two ba!!less wonders.
Things won’t change until we get a large C Republican President and send the “Turtle” and the “Crier” to the back benches..................
You would think the spineless bunch in the Senate and the House would get rid of McConnell and Boehner now. I guess they just want to lose the majority next election.
