Since 1933 ( I use that date because that is where the table started ) Democrats have run both houses of congress for 52 years. REpublicans have run both houses for 17 years. NOW despite running both houses of congress since 1007 (with the dow at 14000, unemployment at 4.6% and gas at $2.00 per gallon) In the next year after taking power, the dow was at 7000, unemployment at 10%+ and gas had hit $4.00 per gallon. Its clear the democrats did this to get their puppet elected. Democrats say everything is the republicans fault. Do you see how transparent and shallow they are in the light of facts? As gray davis said on his election night "At last! Every single major political office in the state is controlled by democrats! NOW we can show them what our ideas can do!" 6 months later california was bankrupt.
