Actually I don’t think (either) party is doing a thing to improve the economy.
Dems aren’t, but the GOP also is out to lunch.
I’m series. Bring back jobs to America.

Its pretty hard to find an economic measure where were not significantly better off. That would be because most of the economic measures are kinked up by the government.
However, I have a kind of common sense measure that tells me what is real and what is spin.
I just look at the number of freeloaders swarming our borders to get in. I then look at the businesses that are swarming our border to get out. And that tells me what I need to know.
