In my previous posts, I have argued that democrats have simply been better stewards of the economy in the past, particularly in the last 60 years.
Tax-and-spend Liberal My Ass
Politics of the Federal Minimum Wage
Democrats Have Kept Unemployment Low
Democrats care about poor people
Truth About Economic Performance of Political Parties
In this post, I will discuss a recent graphic that further consolidates the view that the US economy has performed better under democratic presidents than republican ones. As I have noted before, there are many factors that affect the performance of the US economy aside from who is in the White House. Those factors notwithstanding, the whole narrative of a good economy under democratic administrations had been consistently true.
Tommy McCall provided a stark graphic at The New York Times called Bulls, Bears, Donkeys and Elephants. In there, he compares the performance of the stock market (S&P 90 * S&P 500) during Democratic and Republican administrations since 1929. Since Herbert Hoover was a real downer for the Republicans, McCall generously provides data including and excluding Hoover. So, how did the S&P fare under Democratic and Republican administrations? I will let you be the judge.
