2. Yes, and the GOP has been LYING about better economies...

... under their administrations for as long as I recall too.

As a teenager in the 80's, their constant lying fooled me too. Then I read a similar article with the same kind of historical data from a US News & World Report magazine while sitting in the waiting room at a dentist's office.

The economic numbers were better under Carter than Reagan too. Yet nearly everyone squawked otherwise back in those days.
