but the truth is that the Dems have done better, but not much.  

Dems are almost as beholden to special interests as Republicans, and working families get the short end of the pepperoni every time.

Conservative ideas made policy ruined this economy.  It's too bad that so many Democrats (like our President) embrace those ideas.

I also think that jobs are gone in part to trade policies, but in part to the tidal pull of history.  We left the Industrial Age about 20 years ago, and people my age are just realizing this.  The young get it, but are stuck in a nation ruled by 'boomers who don't.  I don't have a grossly oversized graph to illustrate my point, just my 2 cents.
