(2,275 posts)20. Yet polls show that Americans think GOP is better at economic issues
That last tax cut, ostensibly for the rich to invest with trickle down never worked (AGAIN).... and yet most citizens believe it did somehow. What they have been seeing is the tapering off of Obama's economic rebound after the last Republican economic failure (the Great Recession).
People like Bernie Sanders, Warren, etc., are drawing attention to the failure of Republican economics, but the mainstream media fails to comprehend what they are saying (because they are ENTERTAINERS who assess personalities, not policies).

Generally people who hate government should never be given a position of power in any government.
