Kyle, this question is way too complicated to answer. You are overworking you mind now. Go away from Y/A for a while. Relax and prepare yourself emotionally and mentally for what is coming up for you. Let your frustrations and angers float off. Picture yourself in a retail environment and explore the emotions you feel. Generate trial conversations, look for pit falls, then drift into a little nap. Don't generate actual plans till you are up and moving again. If you are happy and healthy, the economy will be too.

In terms of politics, all they can do is pass legislation. How the market responds is a different story. In addition, some things, like the housing or dot com bubble, are somewhat out of government's reach. They don't specifically direct an economy in that direction, but policies they make can have impacts on these events. Since we have presidents that serve 4 year terms, they inherit the economy and the result of previous economic policies. This opens a lot of debate as to which party did what and what that impact was. When you analyze all of the data, you cannot conclusively say Republicans or Democrats did good for the economy. A different way of interpreting the numbers give different results.
I'm not making a verdict; I think tax and spend Democrats damage the economy, or at least slow its progress so it can be "fair" to everyone. Republicans seem to like Reagonomics more recently, which I think could be a sound policy; but the implementations tried thus far take on too much debt and lower taxes too much, which I think is a reckless way of hoping everything works out for big gains.

Whether a democrat or a republican, it all depends on what the Presidents strengths are, how he listens to his advisor's, and what actions he takes on whatever is important worldwide and domestically.
The political party has something to do with it to a point, but if other activities across the world don't permit for his attention to be spent 'at home' the economy takes a direct hit as a result.

It used to be the Republicans, then between Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43, they are responsible for 2/3rds of the national debt (which is about to surpass $9 trillion dollars).
And now 12% of the annual federal budget goes to servicing (eg: paying the interest) on this debt.
Can't say that the GOP has been a good steward of the economy in the last 27 years.
And since Democrats have been in power only 8 of those years, I cannot make a determination of their ability, other than the debt started to decrease under Clinton.

If massive debt, massive trade deficits, historically weak dollar and record foreclosures is a sign of a strengthening economy...then definitly the GOP.

Well look at it this way...Democrats want to tax the people to death...leading to no new investment...thus the economy fails...Republicans give tax cuts...boosting the economy...i think the answer is obvious.

Based on Clinton's performance, Democrats. And the rewards were spread more evenly, not just accruing to the top, as under Republicans.

A government controlled economy is called communism. The best economy occurs when there is no government intervention.

Americans. If I would have to choose, it would be republicans since they lower taxes and encourage free market economy.
