In case anyone needed a reminder, the Republican Party’s economic record is atrocious. All but four of the last 17 recessions over the past century have come under Republican presidents.
The idea that the GOP is some force of economic strength is absurd.
@rbreich: The catch is, the particular kind of zillionaire donors, the moles in my Fancy Tale of Quantum Pandanomics, who keep funding the most egregious GOPniks, actually like it when the economy is shrinking, because it gives them more power of the micromanaging-poor-people kind.
IOW, Causing recessions can be viewed as implementing the crappy policies that the Koch brothers implicitly want. (Especially because it often happens as a result of implementing the crappy policies that the Koch brothers explicitly want.)
