All kinds of economic indicators seem to vary wildly by what party is in power. I don’t know what to make of it either, but the graphs are compelling.

  1. 1. I have readers. Just not commenters anymore. 🙁
    2. Damn. They took it down. I dunno, it happens.
    3. I’ll link over.
    4. Yeah, that was amazing. I liked your post about it.

  2. Hey, this comment serves three purposes:

    1. To let you know that someone is reading your blog! hehe

    2. To inform you that there were a bunch of mistaken links in your list this time! Batman, the image no longer exists. 10 bands, link isn’t there (just “http:///”). 10 drunk people, has the same link as the Geek Art.

    3. I have a new blog, so come on over to check it out at http://matt-erof-fact.blogspot.com/

    4. To comment (yes, a real comment!) on how great the “what party is in power” charts were. I was actually looking at the Debt to GDP numbers just last week (he strangely doesn’t have a chart for that), and noticed the partisan trend. These trends that he shows are something I’ve seen all along and tried to argue with people about (especially in this election cycle). And I don’t see how you’re seeing that the indicators “vary wildly”. It seems to me that they are consistently leaning Democrat when you look at the positive indicators (GDP, employment growth, surplus), and Republican when you look at the negative ones (inequality, deficit, unemployment).
