Quick... Give Georgie Back His Congress!

I have taken quite a bit of time to research the facts about our economy for the past 39 years. I have made two spreadsheets that reflect Presidential Rule, and Majority Rule (A party holds a majority in both houses of congress, or the presidency and one side of congress, or all three). All of my data is backed up as factual information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I have blocked off the Political Party at the helm of the economy using red for Republican, and Blue for Democrat.

MAJORITY RULE vs. PRESIDENTIAL RULE

Look at the numbers and form your own opinion. Pay close attention to Rates of inflation and Unemployment. Also take a look at the staggering numbers that a super majority (not a super majority pertaining to one branch, but a super majority in that all three levels of government are held by one party as a majority) in either party create. George Bush is the only republican to have a Republican House Majority and Senate Majority backing him up. As a result he wiped the floor against Jimmy Carter and Clinton's 6 year combined averages. Also, Georgie isn't that bad after all. During his presidency we enjoyed lower rates of inflation, and unemployment, than the 39 year average. All of this in the wake of a terror attack on U.S. soil, 2 devastating natural disasters, and 2 wars.

Ouch, look out if Obama wins and gets his own toy Congress. I am willing to bet it looks something like Carter and the Gang back in the 70's (high unemployment and high inflation). Better brush up on your soup kitchen manners, or the soup Nazi will not "Spread the Soup".

Let the numbers speak for themselves.
