Democrats vs. Republicans on the economy
We've all heard it once and we've all heard it again: Republicans supposedly know how to create economic growth. If you don't cut taxes, then the economy will suffer. If you don't cut social programs, then people will be overregulated. Heck, if you mention the word government, then all hell will break loose.

Fortunately, numbers don't lie (unless they're statistics). With the economy on everyone's mind, the issue is sure to come up again once Congress finishes with the health care situation. Rather than try to crunch the numbers, two websites have done it for us.

Of course, we knew that all along. :)
