Stephen King? Really? Why don't you just quote Tanner. It would be just as effective.

Speaking of being openly racist, let's talk about a time when the civil rights movement was really gaining steam and our elected officials had the opportunity to make strides for the marginalized. In response they chose to...wait for it...put a man on the moon. Yep, that's some real helping of minorities going on there. In contrast, we have the lowest unemployment rate among minorities EVER!!! It is true that facts are inconvenient.

Huh?

I'm baffled that you think it was an either/or choice.

Poverty rates dropped dramatically in the 1960s.

Facts can be terribly inconvenient.

A large political science literature has found that better economic performance in the runup to an election is closely associated with the political fate of the incumbent party. It seems that on some level voters hold presidents responsible for the economy, even though most observers think the president actually has relatively little control over it.

Sure, presidents have a few tools at their disposal: they can appoint pliant Fed chairs, push for changes to taxes and regulations, and try to negotiate new trade deals. But their control is naturally limited by the power of Congress, long-term economic trends outside their control, and the potential for disruptions coming from abroad.

Then again, the historical record shows that the economy has done quite a bit better under Democratic presidents since World War II, with faster GDP growth, more reductions in unemployment, greater industrial production, and higher corporate profits. Is this just statistical noise, or is it actually evidence that Democratic presidents (and policies) are better for the American economy? A study appearing in the April issue of the American Economic Review tries to find the root cause of the economic growth gap between Democrats and Republicans.

In Presidents and the U.S. Economy: An Econometric Exploration (PDF), authors Alan Blinder and Mark Watson compare the economic records of Republican and Democratic presidential administrations, focusing on the period since World War II when data on gross domestic product and employment have been collected in a consistent manner. They find GDP tends to grow much faster under Democratic presidents (averaging 4.33% per year) than Republican presidents (averaging 2.54% per year).

The authors note that this 1.8 point GDP growth gap between the parties is quite large -- roughly equivalent to the 2.0 point gap between the booming 1990’s and the much rockier economy of the last ten years.

Is it shocking that a group run by academics would show that dumbocrats perform better? I think not. Academia, especially the humanities, is infested with radical left-wing wackos. Why not just put a link to the Young Turds...er...Turks and call that fact?

And.....there you have it, folks.

FAKE NEWS!!!!!

Are you denying that Trump will "achieve" a trillion dollar deficit, which when compared as a % of GDP, is about as far from being "conservative" as you can get?

And as an aside, I'm a fiscal conservative, so red-baiting me won't work.

Just one more little chart for you to chew on:

It takes money to fix all the mistakes made by dumbocrats.

So government spending is the solution to make the economy run smoother?

If only it were that easy.

I thought Stephen King put it best:

"Like giving steroids to a horse. It runs like hell until it drops dead."

Kinda tough to call yourself a conservative while compiling a trillion dollar deficit.

But hey, it's fun to be openly racist, right? MAGA!

And Trump is the reason for immigrant crisis..right!?

You're talking to a guy who literally just said that all studies, research and science are invalid because education, science and thinking come with a liberal bias.

So basically 100% of things he disagrees with are automatically invalid. You cannot reason with people like this. But on the bright side, you don't have to be insulted when they try and insult you on the internet either.

Not a fan of Chayka. I think he’s lasting as GM cause he hides a bit out in the desert + he’s working under brutal clueless ownership.

More fake news! How can you type when you can't even read at A 3rd grade level?

I'm really beginning to think that all Leafs fans are this stupid.

The Chayka parents: Good at creating hot daughters. Bad at creating NHL GM’s.

Sure it was. All the ones that went to the moon were white....thus, reducing the "whiteness" of America, and making the minorities less of a minority. If they sent Black or Hispanic people all the way to the moon people would be upset it was exploitation. It was the politically correct thing to do.

Unfortunately, academia and science has been politicized way too much and no one knows what is "real". Data and findings are no longer valid in many cases, and the books are cooked in many instances for the sake of matching science with political ideology. Anyone who thinks otherwise lives in a bubble.

Policies, laws, initiatives, budgets all influence and are influenced by it, and it's big$$$. No wonder it's happened.
