What's ironic is the dow was at 12,400 before the Dems took control of congress. They ran on the idea that the dow wasn't a true reflection of the economy and they were the only ones who could get the economy going again. And Jophed, like most other Democrats, parrotted this as much as they could to whoever would listen to them.

When the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate back in January of 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at an all-time high of 12,400 and gas prices hovered around $2.15 per gallon. The Republican-led Congress of the previous 4-years had left a strong-economy in the hands of Socialist Democrats.

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.

Nobody can f*ck up an economy better than a Democrat. That's a fact.
