its not democrats vs republicans, its you(serf) against corporations (kings). This shit has been going on for thousands of years. The idea is make them hate one another for their very small differences so that they don't go after us (wealthy) for our huge differences. Anyone who makes a case for a republican or a democrat is wasting their time

Wait... Fox news isn't biased?

@andrij66 Clinton, Johnson, and Carter, as well as Obama have always lowered the unemployment rate. The republicans have always raised the unemployment rate.

@syzygy502 If you're talking about government, ok, you're right. Republicans are for a smaller government with less bureaucracy, Democrats are for a large government with more bureaucracy. Look at FDR, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, & Obama. The last three had a terrible unemployment rates. Last point: If the Democrats creates a government job with funds/grants whatever, (like a music teacher,) & those funds stop, would you consider that a real job?

I consider a job something self~sustaining.

@andrij66 Oh please. You are a moron. The republicans always lose jobs and Democrats always get them back.

This guy is a clown, what a waist of time!

This guy makes some great points. Clinton was a great president. Bush Jr was an awful president. Democrats good, Republicans bad.

how many jobs did Clinton signing NAFTA into play cost America?

[andrij66]

Stupid, Clinton had a Republican Senate, & they did what they wanted hence, any credit should go to Republicans, look at who controls the house & you'll see who's doing what. Remember power was divided between the President, the Senate & the House of Representatives.

In reality, Clinton was an unprincipled liberal. He came into office with a bold social agenda, like socialized medicine. But he was also a pragmatist. He realized that it was not the time for social change. He accepted the market policies that had led to economic success in the 1980s, and practiced them himself. This is why Clinton had a better economic record than Bush.

At the same time, Bush added more regulations than any president since Nixon, spent like a drunk sailer, put up steel tariffs, and loosened the monetary policy. These were anti-market policies. Overall, Clinton's presidency was much more pro-market and conservative than Bush's. Not to say that Clinton, himself, is more conservative than Bush. He isn't. But, Clinton practiced a more conservative economic policy than Bush.
