I’m economically progressive, and proud of it
I’ve mentioned many times before that the historical data shows that liberals are better for the economic health of this country than conservatives. Tax policy, social policy, government spending – liberals consistently come out on top. Somewhat interestingly, in the 80 years since the last financial meltdown Democrats and Republicans have split control of the White House virtually down the middle, and when you look at stock market performance over that 80 year period, performance under a Democratic White House crushes the performance under a GOP White House – with or without Hoover.
If you are interested in balanced budgets and a consistently positive economic growth, you should be voting for Democrats.
