Presidential candidates always say outrageous things, it was no different in 2016. Thats a stupid metric. Trump proposed a 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan in 2016 as a candidate, and to this day, he has never explained how he plans to pay for it.
I'm not insisting anything, I simply asked if you could refer to a time when the Dems "wrecked the economy." Its ok if you can't.
Again, I'm not getting into metrics. The reason being that economy-wrecking policies don't result in a completely wrecked economy. For example, we could look at the tepid growth, the falling labor force participation rate, the spike in the number of people on food stamps, etc. of the Obama era, and you could counter that by talking about things like the stock market.
My original point was that the brand of Republican policies are not as prone to wrecking the economy as Democrat policies. It's an educated opinion, but until we see a president with supermajorities in the House and Senate, we'll never get to see the effects a party can have on the economy while completely unfettered.
