Title basically. All the sources on the net say the Democrats perform better with the economy, but I noticed in 2017-2021 that my personal financial situation had gains under the Trump admin. Obviously I support the 2a, but finances are also at the top when I vote for a candidate.
Thank you all! |

Inflation sucks right now, so you can probably guess how I feel.
Stock market does stock market stuff. There's a lot more involved in the market than just which party is in office, IMHO. I cold be wrong though.

Going back to the late 90's I've always done better when a D is in office. Could be just coincidence.

So if a Dem gave you a better "financial situation", they haven't in my lifetime, you would vote for them over the 2A? |

No. Not likely at all. I just see a difference between people I know in what they say regarding financials (this is people of all age ranges) in comparison to research.

Generally (R) administrations, however, my success is not based on what party holds power in office.
Being precise with my spending instead of accuracy by volume means I keep and manage more. I am spending more lately, due to my new POE and its location, but the salary more than makes up for the cost. |

Republican, for sure.
I was set to retire in a few years had we kept the 20/30% returns of the trump time. It got pushed back 5 years. 49 instead of 44, but still. The rigged election cost a lot more than most people know. |

I make decent money. Not a big spender per se. I don’t really have a house note. Truck is paid off. Little credit card debt. In general, bills aren’t bad. Squirrel away a decent amount. No kids. No wife.
But by the end of the month I feel “broke”. Not really broke but I don’t have the fun money I used to. Four years ago it was pretty fun. |

Obama's changes to healthcare fucked things up pretty bad. I did well under Trump, very well. The inflation under Biden is crippling. I was still too young and poor under Bush Jr to really know. |

Republicans. Whenever Democrats are in power, it seems like I can't afford as much. I'm guessing it's their retarded economic beliefs being put into action speeding up inflation while they change definitions to hide the true numbers.

I was doing good under Trump. I had to change jobs under Obama. Partly because of things he was trying to do with salary workers. I’m not doing as well now under Biden. And he’s thinking about messing with salary workers too. I’m a DINK. Kids all grown kind. But money doesn’t go as far under Biden as it used to.

Remember that correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. There are also lags in policy effects.
Countries can't tax, "invest" (redistribute tax dollars) or borrow their way into long term prosperity. See the Broken Window Fallacy. |
