Last I checked

Republicans aren't really that beneficial towards the economy.

Ever since Goldwater, Republicans have been all about bigger spending, and bigger public debt.

70% of the US debt was created under the last 3 Republican Presidents.

With all the borrowing against the dollar, now the US dollar is worth less than a Canadian dollar. The value of the dollar is in freefall.

Mr. Fixit, indeed!

We can get the economy moving again by putting the Mr. Fixit in the White House who fixed it last time: Bill Clinton. Sure, he won't be president... he'll just be the most experienced (sane) Presidential advisor we've had this century.

Let's just hope he can keep "it" in his pants, so Hillary won't get mad and stop listening to him.
