I don’t know if that’s intellectual dishonesty or not.
I’ve offered several reasons as to why. The California example is one but the big one is the inescapable fact that things have only gotten worse the further we head down this road.
But you want proof that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. Proving a negative statement is kinda tricky you know but how about this. Let’s re-examine your chart showing how depending on what party the president belongs to you get different job creation rates.
From 1949-1981 with the exception of 1953-1955 both the house and senate were controlled by the Democrats. Those are where we get our laws and spending approval.
From 81-92, the Reagan / Bush years the house remained democrat but from 82-87 the senate was Republican. It wasn’t until 1996 that we say the house controlled by Republicans. In fact from 1949-2013 the house was in control by the Democrats for all but 15 of those years.
During the greatest growth in private sector jobs (the Clinton era) both the house and senate were controlled by the Republicans. But the split was 50/50 during the Bush jr years.
That tells me despite your chart, these changes have nothing to do with who is in office.
