Democrats historically better at managing the US Economy than Republicans

Republicans campaign on and seem to convince voters that they are more responsible when it comes to managing our tax dollars. Are they right?

NO !

Historically Democrats are better, actually spend less, create more jobs and reduce deficits. While the Democrats are putting their money where their mouth is Republicans are just using their mouths to lie to you about themselves and their economic records...which are BAD!

Last week, a study by the International Monetary Fund -- nobody's idea of a left-wing pressure group -- found that country's economic collapse now "exceeds that being faced by any other advanced economy, and matches episodes of the most severe economic distress [anywhere] in post-World War Two history."

Here are a few resources to back this claim. I check multiple resources which use actual verifiable data to back up their results.
