Look at your chart. Dems took Congress what year? Ah yes, 2006, when the line goes down. Hmmmmmmm (I know I'll be sorry for jumping into this crap)
Yes, and I noted your chart showed the Bush years as steady until those last 2 years, when the Dems had Congress. Your article called it "the Republican recession", and said it eliminated 10 years of growth. Those ten years were under Clinton and Bush, and were doing fine until Dems took Congress. I'm not saying Bush is great and Dems are bad. It just seemed that chart contradicted the claim.
So if I drive a car off a cliff and hand you the wheel before it smashes into the cliff side, it's your fault? That's good to know. So it must be this republican congresses fault we are in this mess right?
