Republicans vs. Democrats: Who's Better for the Economy? | Robert Reich

Reality is, if you keep voting for crooked democrats the country is going to keep going down as it is.

Since World War II, the economy has performed significantly better on average under the administration of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents. The reasons for this are debated, and the observation applies to economic variables including job creation, GDP growth, stock market returns, personal income growth and corporate profits. The unemployment rate has risen on average under Republican presidents, while it has fallen on average under Democratic presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents. Ten of the eleven recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.

What do the Democrats offer? What does Kamala offer? She, like the rest of the Democratic leadership is a moderate and can only offer crumbs. If that is what they offer, why should the electorate be inspired to vote for them?

I think seeing the dire situation in which the working folks, the majority of which are white, find themselves in, many have been taken in by the lies of Trump. He promises he will fix things for them. And drive those dog and cat eating illegals out of the country. " They are poisoning the blood of the country. They have bad genes and are taling away black jobs.

In the meantime, This insane economic inequality is leading America to its ruin.

But the Democrats have bought into this as well and for decades have gone along because as you say they are eating from the same trouf.

And Kamala? She is  a Democratic moderate who proposes the same thing, a few crumbs, here and there. On the other hand this lying narcissist promises that he will fix things for them and make America great again.

America needs a hero. A hero like the one that was elected president in 1932.

At this point politics dont do anything for the economy.

No contest.
Republicans break the economy, Dems build it up...

Obama had an unemployment rate of over 8% for how long again?

Source? "Trust me bro".......

😂😂😂😂 that was funny and comical

It turns out cutting taxes for people/corporations that are already wealthy doesn’t help

Trump admitted in an interview years ago that democrats were better at the economy.

Records show who provided a good economy except for covid. Biden Harris had record inflation from which the middle class will work for years to recover.....

They are both owed by the oligarchy so why is one different than the other ?

Reich is a complete nutcase. Trump had the best economy period. Everyone was much better of in 2016-2020. The last 4 years have been terrible. Oh and the democrats created the Covid bioweapon with funding from the Obama administration, bill gates, and Dr. Fauci so don’t blame Trump for struggling to save USA.

FAKE BS NEWS. Biden has destroyed the American dream, rampant inflation, proxy wars, limp noodle president who sleeps all day and has the greatest absent record away from the Whitehouse. He isn't making any decisions for the last 2 years at the Whitehouse. The question is, who really is running the demoshit party?

If democrats economy is so great, why are we in so much trouble now. They always blame republicans when they have been in control for 12 of the last 16 years. Blame the opposition for their failures is the playbook.

This socialist is full of crap. Tells half truths and slanted narratives.

And yet, we have thousands of dumb dumbs following trump. They didn't learn.

When Democrats Are In Charge, AMERICA IS BROKE, FJBAMA FKH and the democrats. lol

Its Pure and Simple, We want Trumps Economy, Energy, Border and Foriegn POLICY'S.
AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST MAGA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When Trump left office, Inflation was 1.4 percent, Gas was 1.89 a gallon and interest rates were one percent,
Since Biden and Harris took office Inflation Jumped NINETEEN PERCENT, Gas JUMPED to 5.00 bucks a gallon and interest rates JUMPED TO EIGHT PERCENT, lol
Looks like you can't do simple Math, 🤣

So you like paying for migrants ? War machines?

Stealing billions from us and giving it to the war machines and migrants is what Democrats Biden/ Harris. Now, they are stealing from us to pay them to leave. WTF

Thanks Sam’s dad.

When you put money in the wallets of working people the economy does better, who would a thought that?

Economy did better under Trumpnomics, not Bidenomics. Harris Emhoff is incompetent when it comes to the Economy. And linked to Bidenomics.

Democrats are better historically. - Gen Z

trump is so blasfemy he is sayin that he is more powerful than God

Trump was a Democrat. We were way better off under Trump! No one can afford to shop now. Every retailer is closing stores and even Dollar Stores are hurting! Housing prices are plumetting and remember that it was the Democrats that created lockdowns and Fauci has since admitted that was a mistake!

Where are the numbers to back this up .?

Why has inflation went up the Biden administration?

criminal rat ruthless repub own our government middle class workers are payed what ever corps. wish but idiots still vote for ruthless REPUBS. snakes 1948 H Truman said this would happen it sure did!!!! these repubs are demons make workers live in POVERTY!!!!

😮😮

Cause they’re gullible morons

😂😂😂😂 the reason jobs were lost was because of covid and the stay at home policy this video is a damn joke

Every Republican President since WW2 has left office with a deficit larger than they inherited.

Every Democratic President since Carter has left office with a deficit smaller than they inherited.

Democrats trend the debt to grow slower or even start to shrink. Republicans spend more borrow more.

The Republicans just lie about it and have somehow convinced the country that their spending is "good" and the Democrat's spending is "bad".

Biden has no economic plan. Never did. And anyway he was ousted by his own party being deemed as mentally unfit suffering from dementia. Harris never did or accomplished one thing. Except cackle. She also is clueless with no ability of producing any type of plan. No matter what the topic of the plan would be. There is no plan of any kind.

Trump has already proven that not only does he have a plan but he executed in his first year of office by erasing Americas worst that being Obama. Within one year America was Number 1 in drilling and producing 100% of our own fuel. Prices dropped. Companies that had been over taxes by Obama returned to America. Companies expanded. And the list of positive accomplishments went on and on.

In less than 100 days Trump will erase the Biden era and all that his party did to harm America. And great progress as before will take place.

A conservate no matter whom is always better

Trump ran America like a business and it too went bankrupt

Facts simply do not substantiate your claims. Claiming the Biden economy is better than Trump’s is patently false. Bush the Junior was hit with an attack on our nation precipitating war time spending, and Reagan will go down as one of the best presidents in history. While Obama’s tenure is marked by increased racial tension, breakdown of bi-partisanship in Congress and the rise of Iranian terror funding. You are welcome to your political opinion, but not welcome to fabricate your political “facts”.

No contest! President Trump was light years ahead!!! Bidenomics stomped on the middle class aka inflation. The rich are getting richer and the middle class is paying for it. Not only that but look at the billions of dollars being sent not only to Ukraine but all over the world plus the billions of dollars being spent on illegal immigrants. The so-called border bill that the Democrats were proposing did nothing to achieve border security but it would have taken billions more of taxpayers money to establish a bureaucracy to take care of illegal immigrants. Buying votes is nothing new for Democrats. They did it to black people for decades aka welfare. President Trump did more for the middle class than any President in years. If people don't wake up and quit buying into the Democrat propaganda there isn't going to be a middle class. Trump 2024!!!

Whaaaaaaaa !

Say what you like, the simple truth is life under Trump was so much better than under Biden, Kamala will destroy us.

Voting for trump isnt about the economy. Its about the border.

I do agree usually the economy does better under Democrats and we do know it was the pandemic that caused jobs to drop. Biden's covid plan was a disaster look what it did to the children. I do know under Trump inflation was very low under this administration's wild spending inflation was out of control although they have brought it down to under 4% it is still not the one and a half or 2% that it was no matter how you put it inflation more than doubled even under the good readings that we have now at one point let's not forget it was over 8% now I am sure you are going to find a way to blame Trump but as an independent voter who has voted for as many Democrats as he has Republicans I have to throw my hat in for Trump America is definitely better off under him the deficit is going up more than it went up with Trump let's not forget that and the current candidate for president had the highest debt plan of all the people who were running that year in the Democratic party or the Republican Party I really feel she will be a disaster to the economy of the United States

Democrats are not the same today.

I never see u speaking about all the expense n crime caused from open borders is this our imagination. It appears ur jaded on what u put on utube like everything is wonderful with what’s been taken place. Really

You sir are completely and absolutely oblivious. How in the WORLD in your right mind do you feel blaming trump for a "pandemic recession" is valid?? Make it make sense

😂You are an Real Stupid...
We Now don have any Jobs Since Everything Gas,Rents,Cars ,food went up because biden,s. Administration is sucks,bullCrap. Come on Bro 🛑 your stupidness

Worst jobs numbers and worst debt. Trump s worst worst worst

Clinton's administration literally caused the 2008 recession. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall legislation is why it happened. That was under Clinton. And the whole "job creation" statistic is a big farce. The pandemic literally had states shutting down businesses and people losing jobs. Under Trump's administration, the market did extremely well. The whole dip in the market during COVID was back to pre-dip within 3-4 months. Biden's job creations 1) were mostly people going back to their jobs and 2) were also admittedly overestimated to a huge extent. Quit spreading lies, Reich!
