Hardly. The good time Clinton years in the 90's were a result of the end of the Cold War and tax cuts in place during Reagan. The economy was a disaster during Carter and remember who controlled the House for over 40 years until 1994. The past several decades?

Hardly.

The fact remains that the economy did better under Carter than it did under Nixon, and likely will do better under Obama than it did under GWB. It's just that when the times are good, people forget what made them good again, go back into tax-lowering and military-strengthening mode, and the whole process starts over again. It is well documented that the economy has done better under the Dems than the GOP for the past several decades.
