The numbers don't lie: Republicans crash economies - Democrats massively grow jobs

[UCmeNdc]

Over the past century, Democrats are 300% better at creating jobs than Republicans!

That’s a shocking figure for most people, most of whom still think that Republicans are better for the economy, but, in the 100 years since 1920, Democratic Administrations have created 85 million jobs and Republican Presidencies only 29 million jobs.

This is a staggering difference: On average, over 1.2 million more jobs have been created every year when Democrats controlled the presidency. This should put to rest forever the argument about whether Democrats or Republicans are better for the economy!

1. I've often wondered why Wall St. doesn't bust the myth that republicans are better for the economy

but I decided after 2008 that they don't really care so much about the overall economy than they do the ability for them to exploit it—run up a bubble, sell out before the crash, & then buy up everything they can for pennies on the dollar. Happens about every ten years, it seems. The 1% have very successfully pitted the working/middle class against each other.

7. Because they have Rush Limbaugh and Fox News convincing people Dems bad.

I'm convinced when Limbaugh finally dies it will be like killing the head vampire and people will finally start waking up and realize just how much they've been lied to over the years.

2. The only reason it hadn't crashed earlier under Trump

is that he literally did nothing at all about it.

3. Financial lady on local teevee this morning...

Stock market gains under Democrat presidents 10%
Stock market gains under republican presidents. 4%

Of course, since it’s local fox, she starts talking about effects from outside forces.

4. Shared this over to a family member

I already shamed the freakin’ hell out of another one this weekend - as in, we don’t do fascist crap in Texas and wth is wrong with you if you think this is normal behavior?

Am gonna need another solid voice to go and be nice and explanatory about how they’ve been hoodwinked, hosed, and swindled for decades by “boom and bankrupt” economic schemes dished out over and over in republican administrations.

Boom and bankrupt is correct. Now, I’ve had issues with Rawstory, but this is a good piece. Really like this moment here:

Republicans are not great for the economy: Democrats are great for the economy. At best, Republican economic results are mediocre and, if, like Hoover, Bush 2 and Trump, they practice voodoo Reaganomics, Republicans create boom and bankrupt economies…and yet Republicans continue to win elections on their perceived economic superiority.

5. The great American public need to be educated on this by lawmakers.

6. The real question is why hasn't the Democratic Party kept repeating that to the American People?

For year and years until the American People know it by heart and never ever question it.

For some reason, the Democratic Party just lets that go by and gets itself entrapped by trying to compete with Republican measures of what the economy is for the American People. They are then sucked into the parameters of a race to bottom economy, because they are afraid to mention Progressive Taxation for the wealthy of the mid 1900s to force the wealthy to really invest in the real U.S. Economy instead of just hedge funds and offshore accounts to crush the lower classes more.

92% in the 1950s for the top rate.
21% or close to that ? today for the top rate as everyone watches this country get worse for the American People.
Yet the Democratic Party is content with only slightly increasing taxes on the wealthy?
Why?
Why in the Hell is the Democratic Party so afraid of knocking the living shit out of the wealthy for the way they and Republicans have skull fucked the American People for several decades by shifting all burdens to them?
Until everyone recognizes that failure, then nothing will drastically improve in this country.

8. Because they don't control fox snooze, etc.

If you’ve seen a dozen mining execs bellyaching about Obama and coal for three years, but didn’t know those jobs were being strip mined into gargantuan machines starting back in at least 2006-2007, then you don’t know what’s going on.

If a dude‘s got over priced pillows to sell whilst relying on the idea that most people won’t return personal items once they’re used, then he pumps money at fox to carry on.

When RT appeared as a top media source on Google news in 2016 and the orange one got way too much media attention it’s hard to have a real conversation about economic timelines.

Can’t put this on elected Democratic officials to be able to carry the message alone, because there’s a desert of real information promoted by the greedy 1%.

9. Then the Democratic Party needs to quit being tied down to 1% talking points and...

Come up with quick comebacks (not false slogans) to point out Republican repeated failures.

Talk over media types and force the real information to be heard, like Nancy Pelosi did to Wolf Blitzer about just accepting the Republican stimulus. Keep repeating the tactic with all Democratic politicians.

Machine gun the networks with the truth instead of the narrative they are supposed to play along with and by all means, ridicule Fux Newz with the reality of who and what they really are along with the dogma they exploit their viewers with.

Call out fraud and fascism, regardless of making media types and Republicans angry about the truth...
How common is it now for many Americans to call the Democratic candidates fictional names, because the Republicans have repeated the same lies over and over with impunity for decades to the point where now 'reporters' question the Democratic Party about their credentials?

That is what America has been waiting decades for the Democratic Party to do and the American People will get behind them, while the 1% media will come crawling to them as humble as a puppy with two peters.

You know Donald J. Trump did in fact teach the Democratic Party something that would serve them very well to use. After all, he beat all other Republicans with it too... Raise their voices and dig in to fight without ever backing down, only this time it will be the reckoning for the American People. Play to win big or play to not lose... We all know how the latter turns out.
