Republicans stink at governing

Republicans are the greatest conmen on Earth.
I am almost in awe of their skills and abilities to dupe the Republican voters into voting for them. At all. Much less to the point that they control Congress and the White House.
Because every hard statistic says they’re awful at governing.

Seriously, there’s not a single metric available that indicates the GOP’s ideas for governance are successful, particularly in the long term. They are horrible at foreign relations, downright atrocious at infrastructure, loudly wrong about policing and crime prevention and just God awful at unifying.

But what they are the absolute worst at – and I’m talking Trump sentence-level bad here – is the economy.

1. They would be so pleased to hear that.

They want to be terrible at governing. So they can say: "See? Government doesn't work!"

2. Well besides greed & racism they believe in NO-government

3. This needs repeating across all media platforms

Mostly because it's 100% true, yet a significant segment of the population is completely ignorant of this very important fact.

4. They simply stink. Period.

Of excrement.
Of rotting carrion.
Of decay.
Of the death of others.

8. More for you lazy bastids that won't click on a link:

Democrats, since the Great Depression, have created 24 million more jobs, saw a 44-percent higher GDP increase and experienced an 18-percent lower unemployment rate.

Business investment has been 200 percent higher under Democrats. And Republicans have been in charge during nine of the last 10 recessions.
Try this sometime: Pull up Google, type in “US deficits by president,” and look at the charts. They’re all the same: Up during the red years, down during the blue years.

At a point, it’s time to say that the Republican economic approach – the idea that if you cut rich people’s taxes, the benefits will “trickle down” to the rest of America – not only doesn’t work, it’s stupid.

Every time America cuts the tax rates for the wealthy, the same exact thing happens.

The deficit swells, the debt rises, the economy goes in the tank.
That is followed by the same thing: A Democrat is elected president, the tax cuts are rolled back, the economy straightens out.
