A recent study published by the Economic Policy Institute evaluated economic performance from Harry Truman to our current situation. The Economic Policy Institute included its data and sources in their study, usually a sign of validity. A quick read of the study removes any doubt about which political outcome is better for most Americans. This link will get you there: Economic performance is stronger when Democrats hold the White House. Please look at this data series for the last 70+ years and acquaint yourself with information TV and blogs don’t have time to show us.
My impetus for this letter is a friend of mine with whom I worked with for much of my career. He was unaware. He has inspired me to try to share this more widely to clarify the endless droning of media noise.
From 1946 to 1980 is when the middle class was created. Since then the middle class has been crushed by the dominant political party over that latter time.
