Food for thought

Imagine if you'd invested $10,000 in the stock market during the 40 years that Republicans have been in the White House since the Great Depression. Now invest the same $10,000 in the 40 years that we've had a Democrat president. Which party's leadership gives you a better return?

*Sara laughs like a maniac, screaming "I told you so!!!"*

Of course, this study just looks at presidents, not which party controlled Congress. But it's still interesting for those of us who are really sick and tired of hearing about how Democrats will screw the economy, despite all factual evidence to the contrary.

On my old blog, I did a post about federal budgets, overruns and surpluses during different presidencies, with the same results - Democrats have historically been better at managing money than Republicans. (I'll try and find it for you...)
