Let us remember this number: 4.6% [View all]

That is the unemployment rate as Obama prepares to leave office. Those are pretty decent numbers. If Republicans can create or keep those numbers going for the next four years, regardless how much government spending they introduce, they will gloat and tell people what a great economy they have created.

Also, generally speaking, the economy does worse under Republicans than under Democrats. Let's not forget 4.6% unemployment and a pretty damn good economy.
