If A is true, then B must be false is hardly discussion. It's accusation and assumption. People are so adamant on blaming opposite party, or current party, that they overlook how things work. Even the congress vs president spending difference. Spending is not the only economic influence and both branches can have wide sweeping effects. Effects that can last for a long time as well. Mixed congress and the deals they need to reach in order to conduct business, full party controlled government and the massive unchecked long term alterations they tend to make. There are so many hands involved it is ridiculous to see bickering like this. From a republican vs democratic standpoint, one needs to take into account the strength the republicans have had in government for the good part of the last few decades. The decisions that effect our economy today, when they were made, and by whom. Along with modern party political philosophy changes. |
