The total failure of Republican economic policies

1- The last three Republican POTUS took office when the economy was booming and left a recession for their successor... Democrat.

The last two Democrat POTUS have done exactly the opposite, Biden would be the third.

2- Of the 20 richest states in the country, 16 are blue states.

3- Of the 20 poorest states, 18 are red states.

4- Obama and Clinton have created more jobs together than all the Republican POTUS combined since 1981.

If you add Biden, you have to go back to Eiseinhower to match the Democrats' performance.

Isn't this a blatant demonstration that the Conservatives are incapable of creating wealth in this country.... since 1989?

 

I’m sorry but I can’t take anyone serious if they actually think the covid bust was due to a president. It was more so the result of governors who shut down the economy.

 

Conservatives could, but Republicans can't, and never will

They are good at complaining though. Just listen to them every time they are in the minority, but when they are in power they spend like drunken sailors.

"When Republicans are in power there is no conservative party in US" - Sen Rand Paul in 2018 while discussing GOP spending bill.

 

COVID represents only 2 years of 40 years of Republican failure.

 

Excuses are like butt-holes. Everyone's got one.

The end result is what it is, and the people in charge will just have to own it.

 

What was the ultimate goal of the policy prescriptions? They helped create the conditions that got Trump elected so in that respect they were “successful”. Trump created the conditions for the Russian-style “democracy” they’re pushing toward so in that sense too their policy was “successful”. Creative destruction of the United States could have been their goal

 

Then you have no reason not to take the OP serious, cause he never even brought up Covid. That was all you.
And what were the other excuses before COVID, the red states numbers have not shifted much for over 30 years.

 

The theory that Republicans are running the maximum deficit to prevent Democrats from establishing universal social/health care programs isn't wrong either.

In short, conservatives are impoverishing Americans to prevent so-called communism from taking hold....

 

Government does not create growth or jobs. CA is one of those rich states. Can you describe how the quality of life for workers improved under dem control?

 

False.

Government economic policies create the environment for growth or decline.

Ex: Manchin believes that the BBB will have a negative impact on inflation.

And the free market philosophy without regulation, which has always been advocated by the Conservatives, led the country to the 2008 crisis.

These are just two examples but there are dozens more.

Compared to which other state?

Alabama? Kentuky? West Virginia? Mississipi ? Louisiana ? Alabama? Any other red state?

 

Nope it is a blatant admission that you don't understand economic cycles or really economics. There nobel laureates in economics that are equally if not more ignorant. Because they wish to be.

 

Yeah.

It's a coincidence that for the past 35 years recessions have occurred when a Republican POTUS is in power.

 

Nope. Almost all were triggered by policies created by Democrats. And many of those Republicans didn't utilize supply side economic models

 

We all, zzzzßẞa as A am¥ZZ

 

Ahhh, the chart that puts things into real perspective, no spin no whining. Great post and I also agree 100% with:

^^^Truth.

 

You say "false" followed by admitting its true. The environment they "create" only hinders growth.

Lets compare CA to all the other states on:

Poverty (CA leads the nation in poverty)
Education (Schools rank with the lowest)
Gap between rich and poor (Huge and getting wider)
Roads (One of the worst)

 

Show me the numbers.

 

Poverty in US 1=Most

Top-10 with highest poverty
=====================
10.South Carolina
9. Tennessee
8. Oklahoma
7. Alabama
6. West Virginia
5. Arkansas
4. Kentucky
3. New Mexico
2. Louisiana
1. Mississippi

California in the middle of the pack (#26)

Education (Schools rank with the lowest). Eeeehhhh.....no.

 

Keep in mind that CA is the 5th largest economy combined with the highest taxes. I am not a Republican, but seeing dems pat themselves on the back only reveals unwillingness to see results.

You neglected to factor in the cost of living. Common mistake.
https://www.politifact.com/factchec...alifornia-has-nations-highest-poverty-rate-w/

 

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education

Based on this measure California is ranked #20 overall in the US. For pre-k12 they are ranked #40 which is pretty bad but for higher education they are ranked #3 which would be world class.

 

Working people send their kids to public schools. There are many sources and CA ranks 40 to 49 for the average worker. We do have some great colleges for those who can afford them.

 

Its not a mistake. When you insert all the "ifs' and "buts" you can make things look like anything you want.

"If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas."

 

Yep, we already know that. When it's a recession under a GOP president, it is just the business cycle. When the recession is under a Dem president, it is Dem economic policy failure. That's the conservative mindset, no critical thinking necessary.

 

Nice dodge. CA leads the nation in poverty.
