The premise of the article is wrong. Conservatives have governed very well
17 out of the last 25
years as all your paychecks can attest.
RepbliCONS/Conservatives did not control all three
branches until the last 5 years. During the other 20 of
the 25 years Democrats controlled at least one, if not
two branches of government thereby blocking bad
RepubliCON legislation.
If we were to accept your premise of 17 out of 25
we'd have to give Democrats a great deal of the
credit because they controlled the Senate 11 of
those 25 years, the House 15 of 25 and President
for 8 of 25.
However, as it turns out, real wages for the average
american have declined by 6% since 1980, although
they did get an increase during Bill Clinton's terms
in office. Not only that, but hours worked based
on households has gone up 25% since 1980.
So, essentially the average american has seen their
wages go down but the number of hours worked
go up and all that during a period when productivity
gains of over 30% helped boost the overall economy.
