It occurred to me that, since the US economy does not exist in a vacuum, we could take a different look at GDP growth numbers by comparing US growth to that in other countries.

Therefore try your analysis with a Republican House. Remember the great bull market 1994 to 2000 with time off in 1998 for the Asian Contagion and Long Term Capital Management. It wasn’t caused by Bubba Clinton, his first 2 years were in the economic toilet. Remember the 12 years of the great depression, yes it did start with the Republicans raising taxes and raising trade protectionism (tariffs which are taxes Smoot-Hawley). But Congress and Roosevelt kept them in place. Remember the period of Great Inflation 1965 to 1980. Thank you the Democratic mimi-socialists in Congress. I would throw in Nixon and Ford it was hard to tell them apart from the big government crowd. Paul Samuelson, the liberal freshman college text book guy, said to the Federal Reserve to their faces in their conference room, “well it goes without saying all recessions start and end in Washington DC” He meant the Federal Reserve. Remember the stupidity of the government saying the world was going to end midnight 2000. What was Greenspan doing, he gave us too much money 1998-2000 and too little money 2001. With too much money the NASDAQ went to 5000 then went to 1000. In December 1999 money growth as 11.5% greater then real GDP in December 2000 money growth was –4.8% less then GDPr. It’s another liberal paper to fool the foolish. It’s there only way to hid the truth. Jay S.
