Comparison - The Dow-Jones Industrial Average

There is STILL an occasional MORON that says the failure of the economy can be blamed on Republicans. What they fail to even attempt to recognize is that even THEY are saying that government is the problem. Another thing that they FAIL to admit is that even though they unwillingly admit that the sole problem is government, they DO NOT admit where the problem lies. IN CONGRESS.

To take a very simplistic view of the economy, I have taken the screengrab of the Dow-Jones Industrial Average. When the Republicans took control of Congress back in 1994, after Bill Clinton tried to turn us into a socialist nation, the DJIA was hovering around 3400. In the twelve subsequent years of Republican control of Congress, the DJIA increased a WHOPPING 350%. Coupled with a plummeting unemployment rate, we enjoyed TWELVE SOLID YEARS of unprecedented economic expansion. UNPRECEDENTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

The economy of the United States was firing on all cylinders BECAUSE OF REPUBLICANS. Not because of Bill Clinton, even though the media outlets preached that it was Clinton that caused this expansion, it was the limited government model of the Republicans that CAUSED and SUSTAINED this growth.

With enough LYING AND MANIPULATING, the mainstream media was able to convince the populace that they were not getting richer even though the average wage had increased by a factor of twenty percent in those twelve years and the Republicans were removed from the helm.


The Democrats took over Congress in January of 2007. Since that time, the DJIA has dropped by over forty percent and unemployment has SKYROCKETED. It doesn't take a genius to understand EXACTLY what happened. The first thing that the Party of the Morons did was introduce a minimum wage increase that has hit every July 24th since that time. Almost like clockwork, on August 1st, the unemployment rate has jumped. And the market has PLUMMETED.

Instead of returning to the philosophy that caused economic growth and unprecedented expansion, the Democrats have taken the exact opposite approach that has failed EVERY SINGLE TIME it has been tried. There are even some folks that REFUSE to look back to the end of the 1970s in OUR COUNTRY when this exact same model was tried and FAILED MISERABLY, under the direction of Barry Obama's MENTOR, Jimmy Carter, coupled with the stupidity of a Democrat Congress.

There exist some folks, that even though they see these very policies FAILING AT AN ALARMING RATE, want to STEP UP the implementation of the very ideology that is causing the economy to plummet. Folks, YOU SEE IT in alarming swiftness reducing your retirement to HALF of its value that it held just TWO SHORT YEARS AGO.

It has ONLY taken the Democrat Congress TWO FRIGGIN' YEARS to damn near undo all of the hard work of Republicans for the PREVIOUS TWELVE. There is a solution, but ANYONE with an IQ approaching 65 KNOWS that it doesn't rest in the ideology of the Democrats. How obvious does something have to be?

DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR THEIR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.
