Most Americans think economy is 'getting worse'

[Sapper Woody]

Not according to history. The economy has done much better when Democrats were in office.

As the historical record shows, from economic growth and job creation to stock market performance and just about every other indicator of the health of American capitalism, the modern U.S. economy has almost always done better under Democratic presidents. Despite GOP mythology to the contrary, America generally gained more jobs and grew faster when taxes were higher (even much higher) and income inequality lower.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I could have sworn that back in 2010 or 2011, you insisted that the state of the economy during a presidency was actually because of what happened in the previous presidency, but it took that long to take effect.

Regardless of whether or not I'm right about you saying it, it's the truth. A president can't make changes overnight. The changes a president institutes will take years (normally) to have an impact.

The healthcare issue was on my mind when I wrote that. That's why I added the "normally" in there.

Well it is my view that "normally" doesn't ever fit obama. he has made changes to more than one industry knowing the costs associated with them. He has worked to hide those costs till the last minute or when he gets out of office. History will not be kind to him.
