[You probably didn't notice: I am not perfect and I do not know everything.]

You probably didn't notice: I am not perfect and I do not know everything.

Your really not worth the effort to post your elitist snotty a**ed reponses and unfortuately Dr. Otto****** (the cry baby) Marxist is sounds like some of the stoners who believe that every car is a cop car.

I'm not saying that he is a pot smoker. What I'm saying in this comparison is he believes those whom oppose him are his enemies, remember Hitler didn't want the Russians to take him alive because he was concerned of what Stalin had planned to do w/his corpse. Too bad that bipartisan spirit hasn't quite hit his street yet.

Is this just a coincidence that the economy grows faster under Democrats than Republicans? Is all of it just a delayed reaction to Eisenhower's policies?

That is a large part of it. FDR came in at the bottom of a Depressions and was saved by WWII. Truman got the explosion of buying after the GIs returned home. JFK cut taxes. Nixon used price fixing, and passed OSHA and EPA which killed his economy. President Bush I raised taxes and had a oil price shock. Bill Clinton inherited peace and prosperity and still couldn't keep the economy afloat, and needed a Republican Congress to save him. President Bush II inherited the worst stock market crash, dot com bust, recession since 1974, then had 911 and had to stop the fall and reverse the downfall.

What is it that Republicans do or don't do to slow down growth?

1) Supply-side vs demand side economics
2) cut vs increase taxes
3) cut vs increase spending in nonrecessionary times
4) deregulate vs regulate
5) feed the golden goose of our economy business
6) understand the importance of energy and strive to maintain constant reliable supplies
7) Privatizaton vs socialization

What is that Democrats do or don't do to speed up growth?.

1) Increase regulations and costs
2) Increase taxes on the golden geese of our society
3) Increase spending in unproductive areas
4) Block drilling
5) Waste money on nonsense on things like stem cells and global warming.
6) Openly attack huge parts of our economy big oil, big pharma, big tobacco, big healthcare, big auto with their regulations and pro-union stance. big insurance.

Is it just bad luck?

Part, but then WWII helped their numbers out a whole hell of a lot, and that wasn't planned by the Democrats.


Presidents And The Stock Market
Management consultant Peter Cohan says investors have poor expectations of Democrats, so once the Democrats are in power, stocks rise in relief "when it turns out they don't screw up the economy."

BTW, this thread is labeled as an "important topic"; however, I don't see any "Good Economic News" coming in the future other than political hype so this is just "Economic News".

[Be Prepared for the Worst]

Be Prepared for the Worst
The large-scale government intervention in the economy is going to end badly.

Anytime the central bank intervenes to pump trillions of dollars into the financial system, a bubble is created that must eventually deflate. We have seen the results of Alan Greenspan's excessively low interest rates: the housing bubble, the explosion of subprime loans and the subsequent collapse of the bubble, which took down numerous financial institutions.
...
Government intervention cannot lead to economic growth. Where does the money come from for Tarp (Treasury's program to buy bad bank paper), the stimulus handouts and the cash for clunkers? It can come only from taxpayers, from sales of Treasury debt or through the printing of new money. Paying for these programs out of tax revenues is pure redistribution; it takes money out of one person's pocket and gives it to someone else without creating any new wealth. Besides, tax revenues have fallen drastically as unemployment has risen, yet government spending continues to increase. As for Treasury debt, the Chinese and other foreign investors are more and more reluctant to buy it, denominated as it is in depreciating dollars.

The only remaining option is to have the Fed create new money out of thin air. This is inflation. Higher prices lead to a devalued dollar and a lower standard of living for Americans. The Fed has already overseen a 95% loss in the dollar's purchasing power since 1913. If we do not stop this profligate spending soon, we risk hyperinflation and seeing a 95% devaluation every year.

[Bernanke is destroying the US economy]

Good Interview on whether Bernanke should get another term.  Given Bernanke's record, would he still have a job in the private sector.

Celente on 2010: Wave of Terror, Internet revolt & War on migration

One point Mr. Celente makes that I would like to add to is the idea of the “new survivalist.” Celente defines this as a mode in which we turn over and plow under our suburban lawns and begin to grow our own food. Another name for this is the “homesteader” or in the case of many in cities, the “urban homesteader.”

I agree with him on this point and it is critical that we begin right now to do this. Get your stock of seeds this winter and begin to plan the food you’ll grow that you can save and store in cellars and by canning or freezing. Also start to raise your own chickens for eggs and meat, and you might even want to start raising a few sheep or goats for milk and meat.

The point is that as the economy continues to get worse food will cost more. Likewise we can expect that when it does goes up the government along with the “food industry” will be looking for ways to cheapen food, which as we see now has absolutely no nutritional value. So it’s important to begin raising your own food.
