Businesses are more confident when the GOP is in office?

I wouldn’t make too much of it, the business cycle goes up…and down.

I think it's more interesting how the data is distorted by the government than the alleged relationship w/ who's in charge. They are all crooks.

x2.

Note that you also need corresponding graphs showing not only the Senate, but the House, the President, etc.

Plus, if you're implying a causational relationship, you need to demonstrate why it's more than a correlation (which could also be explained by people voting Democratic because of rising unemployment).

know also that \"unemployment rates\" are based on the amount of people that are FILING for unemployment.

It doesn't give a realistic representation of how many US citizens are out of work.
