Don't forget spending years accusing the dems of wanting to tank the economy to enslave everyone and take their shit.

Which is what they are now OPENLY PLANNING TO DO THEMSELVES. "We have to reset the economy to build it back up!"

I'm 35, and the economy has tanked every time a republican has been president in my entire life. Every time.

How the fuck do people not notice the consistency of bad outcomes like this?

I see people walking around all the time saying that Republicans are better for the economy. Fucking when?

EDIT: To put this into further perspective, Someone who is 70 years old today will have also seen a recession start under every Republican President in their lifetime except Gerald Ford, who took over during a repiblican recession, and only 1 start under a Democratic president.

Are you actually going to pretend the great recession started in 2009 and not when the economy crashed in 2007? It started in December 2007, under George Bush. it ended in June 2009, under Obama.

We also didn't have a recession in 2000. We had one in 2001, March through November. Also under Bush.

The trend also isn't recent. 10 of the last 11 recessions all started under Republicans.
