Description
Which U.S. Presidents have been the best and worst economic stewards for our nation, the business community, and the average American family? Which political party has demonstrated superior economic performance while serving in the White House? Which economic principles have led to each President's success or failure? What have our elected officials and the voters learned from these results? Bulls, Bears, and the Ballot Box will examine these and many other questions. The answers will surprise you.
The authors review 80 years of our nation's economic history from the Great Depression and Herbert Hoover, to the Great Recession and George W. Bush; a time period in which the Democratic and Republican Parties occupied the Oval Office for precisely 40 years each. This is where the similarity ends. The authors explore this unique comparative opportunity by using historical data, as well as statistical analysis, to objectively score the Presidents and the political parties under their customized ranking system. Using their Presidential Rules for Economic Success (PRES Rules) they explain the economic stumbles and triumphs posted by these 13 presidents as CEO's of the American economy.
Bulls, Bears, and the Ballot Box cuts through all of the hyperbole and mantra. It is a "must read" for all voters - independents, liberals and conservatives alike. This book may change your vote in 2012; it will certainly challenge your thinking and mainstream political beliefs.

Bob and Lou did a great job of analyzing the last 80 years of the economy.They present a concise and readable argument for how Democratic presidents have generated opportunity and prosperity for the middle class that far exceeds their Republican counterparts. The difference in philosophy is remarkable and a much needed change from the current stalemate in congress.

I have always been fairly apolitical but have started studying more as I have gotten older. Being a math teacher I have an interest in how statistics are used. I caught part of an interview of this book's authors and I knew I had to read it. This book was the most interesting political "read" I have had in a long time. It applies a long list of financial statistics to the presidents from Hoover to G.W. Bush to see who has been the most, and least, beneficial to the country's money. It produced a number of surprising conclusions. This book should be read by every voter in this country.
