I'm always providing data from the Census, Bureau of Economic Analyses, Whitehouse.gov, Labor Department, Department of Treasury proving the economy does better under Keynesian (invest in the American people) Democrats then Supply Side (trickle down economics) Republicans.

This is usually in the form of inflation adjusted percent changes in GDP, jobs created, tax revenue generated, poverty changes, and median household income over the same length of time.

MY QUESTION IS IN WHAT FORM DO YOU WANT THIS EVIDENCE? DO YOU WANT THE PERCENT CHANGE STARTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER A PRESIDENT TAKES OFFICE, ONE YEAR AFTER, FIVE YEARS?

I ASK THIS BECAUSE CONS ARE ALWAYS MAKING UP (((EXCUSES))) ON WHY DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE, SUPPLY SIDE DEFICIT SPENDING IS STILL BETTER.

I'LL BE BACK LATER TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ANSWERS I GET.

I, for one don't think deficit spending is ever a good idea but I do believe in supply side economics. The problem we've had is that when we cut taxes and revenues actually rise we always seem to over spend it. Ultimately Congress has to take better care when spending our money.

I would like the evidence in a form that does not involve a person's name, opinion, or quote. Whether it be from Hillary, Obama, Bill, Bush, or Cheney. I'm tired of people saying it's a FACT because HE/SHE said so. If you provide me with credible statstical evidence against what I believe, I will still certainly have my opinion, but at least I will respect you and be able to hold an intelligent debate.

For example, when people say, "well Bush HIMSELF said there were no WMD's found".....umm, ok. Thanks. My point is I don't care what he says, or anyone else says. If you provide me with first hand knowledge or credible proof that they didn't exist, then I will believe you. Until then, your opinion is just as valid as mine.

Politicians are deceiving people about economy. Whoever is in power claims that the country is in the right direction vis-a-vis economy.

They will believe it if they think it can create more money for them in particular, NOT necessarily for the society as a whole.
