How to kill a good economy

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. We go through the same song and dance about every 4-8 years

Elect Republicans whom starve the government and drive up the deficits with tax breaks heavily tilted towards the wealthy and endless spending and (usually) drive the economy into a recession with their policies. Then, people get mad at them and elect Democrats afterwards whom raise taxes back to a sane level and cut back on spending (mostly because Republicans start squawking about the deficits that don't matter except for when they say they do) and get the economy back in shape in enough time for the public to sour on the Democrats and elect Republicans again. Wash.Rinse.Repeat.


It seems like it should be fairly obvious which party is better for the country/economy in general but, surprisingly it isn't.
