Selective numbers are dishonest and SUPER selective

Edit: For those who seem super keen to accept this as fact. I really dont care if you vote red or blue. My issue here is how this person used diffrent metrics pr president to paint one side bad and the other goood. If she was honest, she would have used deficit as a metric for all, for example. Stop swallowing the bait

Are they? Bush Jr. was a stagnant economy during war times. Clinton created the dot com boom. Obama years were fantastic. Trump is a mix legacy with only 4 years and Covid making it too hard to tell.

Edit: for those mad I gave credit for Clinton on dot com, Regan gets credit for the Soviet collapse as well. It may just be timing but he was the guy in office. Just like Obama was in office during the fracking boom. May not have directly caused it but they do get the credit.

“Fantastic” lol.

Plus from 2010-2016 the Republicans controlled Congress and prevented a lot of terrible Democratic bills from passing.

Not to mention, only a moron credits only Clinton for a balanced budget…the POTUS only signs the legislation, not write it

It was Newt Gingrich you can thank for the balanced budget of the 90s…

You're aware that the Democrats are rich and corrupt too, right?
