Debt by President

[acco40 95]

The American people have for years and years avoided a single party government - tending to elect an executive (president) and legislative (congress) leaders of opposing parties.

 

Yes, Congress pulls the budget handles but the President isn't exactly powerless to influence what Congress comes up with. So, to simply state that a President has no say except either sign or veto is false.

 

Then there are some President, like Eisenhower who were not really a true Democrat or Republican.

 

Kennedy, Clinton & Johnson were the leaders for the most recent top "GDP annualized growth" occured.

 

Johnson, Carter and Clinton were the leaders during the largest annualized growth in total jobs (both Bushes bring up the rear).

 

Nixon & Dubya were leaders fo the only decline of S&P with Clinton being in office for the greatest gain.(This message has been edited by acco40)
