America has never experienced a great depression or a great recession that did not show the economic management capability of the Republican party.
Since 1929 certain Republican types have been at work trying to change a huge country into something that their demonstrated ability can manage. And 300 million people is too many for the Republicans, of right wing persuasion, to manage. Down-sizing America by crushing the middle class and the poor appears to be the neocon solution to creating an America their skills can manage.
Can the democracy tool give the neocons the leverage they need to downsize America? No! But one neocon got publicity in America’s CURRENT EVENTS news pool by pointing out that the name “Democrat” is close to the name democracy. A name change was suggested.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in his 1938 speech to Congress, warned America about a creeping “malaise” that was showing-up in American politics. He alerted America to its democracy being “consumed” by fascism.
A fascism tool can allow a small minority to control a huge majority – even while vestiges of democracy remain intact. Employment can be the tool of choice to expand the votes of big people(minority).
Already, a cheeseburger maker in Ohio(since 1980 Ohio has had a high profile in politics) has made that “one small step” for employer control of employee votes. Putting the votes of employees in the hands of business can help give birth to a fascism type government.
When BIG PEOPLE feast on the treasury of government, countries die fast. It only took 4 years to kill the treasury of a wealthy country that is hundreds of years old.
2003 State of America’s Economy:
The U.S. Economy – IBR\INDIANA BUSINESSREVIEW Willard E. Witte
The U.S. economy during 2003 has been an exercise in cognitive dissonance. By most measures, the economy has performed quite well (and quite close to the outlook we presented a year ago).[...]

2003 Action On The State of that Economy:

Bush unveils tax-cutting package
[...]” By speeding up the income tax cuts, we will speed up the economic recovery and the pace of job creation”[...]
President Bush
Four(4) Years After the 2003 Action – A New Economic State was produced:
the NATIONAL BUREAU of ECONOMIC RESEARCH
The NBER’s Business Cycle Dating Committee
[...]The committee identified December 2007 as the peak month, after determining that the subsequent decline in economic activity was large enough to qualify as a recession.
Payroll employment, the number of filled jobs in the economy based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ large survey of employers, reached a peak in December 2007 and has declined in every month since then.[...]
Four years after President Bush’s economic plan was put into action, the nation went into a serious economic decline. What Mr. Bush did to a good, working economy in 2003 was touted as increasing jobs: but the exact opposite happened.
Economic depressions and/or recessions are not “out of character” for elements of the Republican party.
If a political party spends a country’s treasury like HELL while cutting a country’s income like HELL, what moron could not predict the outcome?
Economic contractions(serious ones) follow the neocons. The neocons spent trillions of dollars on a war that netted BIG OIL the 2nd largest oil reserve known.
And of all the stupid things to do, the neocons wanted to upgrade another country’s military while America was in a great recession. And they did this while cutting taxes to the bone.
Abraham Lincoln:
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
