Did you miss the part where it said the average is still lower under Dems even when accounting for increases? You're selecting the slimmest of facts to make a claim that Republicans are better at running the economy and citing the one period of high inflation with Jimmy Carter (when inflation was high globally) to make a point that is patently false.

Under Democrats the economy:
- Has higher GDP growth
- Has lower unemployment
- Has lower inflation
- Has higher individual income growth
- Smaller deficits (who's doing the borrowing of money and driving inflation here? Republicans. Who's cleaning up the mess of deficits? Dems)
- Higher stock market returns (11% vs 6% - no small amount)
- Higher corporate profits (13% vs 2%)
- Fewer recessions (10 out of 11 Republicans had one)

Your best friend even chimed in on this:

During a March 2004 interview, Donald Trump stated: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans."
What kind of dumbass are you that you would side with the party that makes you poorer? That causes your stock portfolio to grow slower? To slow your income growth?
