pecuniumPeople keep talking about the horrors of living under Democratic administrations, the "tax and spend", the growth of Government, etc.
Which raises the question, who has done better in the economy, the budget, the size/growth of gov't.
Happily someone has done the work of collating the answers, sadly the links to Kevin Drum's CalPundit have died, but the rest of the data is there. Suffice it to say, that like the lie Obama is going to increase taxes, and McCain will put more money back in your pocket, those who favor a strong economy, a reduction in Gov't spending (and size), GDP (and job) growth, etc., should, be aware (to quote Harry Truman), if you want to live like a Republican, vote Democratic.
