Difference in Your 401k With Dem or Rep President

[NorthernStar]

I read this quite awhile ago so I am going off of memory but you will get the idea. I was also surprised by the numbers. I thought it was more than some sort of statistical variance.

When the president has been a rebublican the stock market has shown a 5% anual increase (based on GWB term it is probably going to get much worse!!)

When there has been a democrat president the stock market has shown an 8% annual return. For the sake of god let's hope we see an upswing in the market.

What are u talking about? The numbers don't lie. The disparity will become even larger based on the market for the last 8 years under the Bush administration. Those are just facts. Wether it will continue in the futur is unknown.

Democrats are better at Economics AND security. 9/11 was under Bush, yet the right leaning press would have you believe that we'd be safer under Republicans. Osama runs loose laughing for 7 years after 9/11, yet somehow the Republicans are better against terrorism???

This is a terrible comparison...

The president isn't god of the economy. There are so many factors it isn't even funny...

1. Congress
2. The fed
3. New technology created.
4. Was the market undervalued/overvalued when you stepped into office.
5. How are other countries ( and their currency doing).


Clinton enjoyed the benefits of the "tech bubble" and left as it was about to crash. That doesn't make him a genius anymore than Bush " had more americans own their homes" under his administration.
