Going by that graph, looks like when Republicans take control the economy does well. Kind of like the comparison between California and Texas. Also there are more jobs than workers vs 10% unemployment rate under Obama and the Demorats. Thank you Donald and Republicans for saving our Country.

Nothing greater than the hubris of a conservative.

This thread is supposed to be for debate. if you aren't here to debate then go somewhere else.  I literally gave you a page worth of topics to argue with me on and you offer me a "You're biased and I'm ABOVE debating people from opposing viewpoints".

This must be your first time in the thread here.  

1.)  I never said I'm above debating people with opposing viewpoints.  In fact, a few people here would say that I give people too much leniency in that regard. 

2.)  You're acting like we should be thankful for adding something to the discussion.  We've got a few thousand posts in here without you.  

3.)  You're free to post in this thread to start debates, discussions, but they should be done honestly.  Like the free speech bit is incredibly dishonest.

Actually, the economy started to get bad when Democrats took over the house and started to recover when Republicans took it back.  The house holds more power than the president if overtaken by the opposition party. Basic politics 101.  Look how low the unemployment rate is when Republicans control everything.

>The economy is doing great under Trump and Bush and bad under Obama!  

"Not quite"

>That's because Democrats were in control of X during Bush's administration.  


You magically always find a way to give credit to Republicans, no matter how much logic you have to spin to make it happen. According to you, the economy magically responds to Republicans in power, even when they haven't done anything.  No laws need to be passed, just economy growing bigly from how awesome Republicans are.  

Let's do this as factually as possible.Instead of looking at a graph, let's look at a table.  

We have all the data from January 1990 of the unemployment.

Followed by the change in unemployment from the previous month.

Whether the president, the majority of the house and the senate respectively was Republican or Democrat are the next 3 columns.

The next 3 columns, and this is where I'm likely to have made a mistake, says R if your trend is correct for that month based off the party.  Or W if it's wrong.  

The trend here of course is whether Democrats hurt the unemployment rate and whether Republicans help it.

The last 3 columns count how many times you've been right.  The maximum possible number is 361, as this covers 361 months.  

I very well could have messed up the formula, so if someone wants to spot check.

So assuming this is all done correctly: 

Your belief is right 192/361 for the president.  For the House, it is only right 120/361.  For the senate it is right only 166/361.

If all that data is correct, it would mean that things fair better on average when the House and Senate have Democratic majorities with a Republican president.  

Or the political parties don't actually have anywhere near the impact you think they do.

You messed up badly, but I forgive you. Let's take a look at these pictures, because a picture is worth a thousand words. As you can see, when Obama and the Democrats took over everything the economy gotten a lot worse. When Republicans took the house and senate back, the economy started to do much better. When Trump and Republicans took over everything, the economy had a record unemployment rate.

Also, we can look at the tale of two States, Texas and California. California, control by Democrats have record number of homeless people, higher unemployment rate and so expensive that everyone is leaving. While the opposite is happening for Texas.
