You can find jerks in both parties, but there seem to be _more_ of them in the democrat party than in the republican party.
To more fully quantify the difference...
1Q 2007 is when the Democrats took over Congress. Since then unemployment's gone from 4 1/2% to 10%. So I guess you could call the difference 5 1/2 %, so far.
Also, The EPA has on its own decided to implement some sort of CO2 regulations, whether Congress acts or not. This didn't happen during the previous administration. It might be a small difference to you, but it's a big one to me. It'll probably kick that 10% unemployment rate up another 8 or so percent, IF we're lucky. If we're unlucky, it'll be worse.
There are other metrics you could use to see the change between the parties; here's money supply:
Finally, we could look at deficits:
When both professional organizations believe they know better than the little people at the ame time just demand more and more of the productivity of the people's labor for their own, just what are the differences? There's something about just letting it all fail sooner rather than later to speed up the process of cleaning the foundation now and start from scratch.
Maybe you have the savings to put into hard assets and ride out the weimar-style hyperinflation collapse, but I don't and neither do most people.
If you don't see more than the proverbial dime's worth of difference from the above charts, you're straining at gnats and swallowing camels. Which is your opinion, but you're talking about destroying other people's livelihoods in the process, in the hopes that you'll be getting a system that's closer to your ideas of perfection... and you would be starting a process you can't control. After all, I missed the part in history class where the Germans got sick of the hyperinflation and elected chicago-school libertarians; in our dimension, at least, they eventally put the Nazis in power.
