The last three Democratic presidents. Clinton inherited the massive debt run up by Reagan and Bush I, and in just six years not only eliminated the deficit but also started producing a fucking surplus. If that sort of financial responsibility had been continued instead of being thrown in the trash by Bush II and Dick “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter” Cheney, we would have eliminated the national debt years ago.
Comment on I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ?
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoIsn’t it always funny that the last 2 Democrat presidents inherited absolute economic shit shows from republicans and managed to turn things around only to be blamed for causing the problems that were left to them…

It just seems to be how it goes. It’s the same here in Australia. The conservatives fuck everyone who is not already wealthy, then the progressive get elected just long enough to get blamed for how fucked everything is, and the conservatives get elected again because they’re “superior economic managers”.
