Typical, the uneducated don't undertsand how something works so they want to run back into the arms of their rapist! Go ahead, you deserve what you get. Much of the blame goes to people that know how economies work and don't try to get the word out inan undertsandable manner...too busy acting superior.

While I would agree the DEMS are losing the battle of public perceptions over which party can best improve the economy, I would not say that the public perception would be that GOP OR TEA have gained any ground either. All the DEMS/GOP/TEA have all lost. The experiment in a democratic republic has failed. Once $$ was allowed into our government structure through lobby's and the SCOTUS making corporations too, was the beginning of the end. We are a monied plutocracy. Corporations/lobby's are the pimps and our Congress have protituted themselves.

Is it a study, an analysis, or a collection of assertions? Just asking.

It is hilarious (or sad) that Republicans are "more trusted" on the economy since the national debt more than doubled under Nixon, jumped from 250 billion to over a TRILLION under Reagan, and quadrupled under George W Bush from 1.54 trillion to 4.9 trillion. Republicans are NOT against spending--they just prefer to spend huge amounts on defense, and cut everything else. Infrastructure spending creates jobs AND we have something lasting to show for it. People with jobs spend money and the economy grows. NO employer is creating jobs until they see more demand, unemployed people can't create demand. It's not rocket science.
