I'm pretty sure they honestly and truly believe that the economy is doing well /despite/ Democrat policies rather than because of it. That, or they believe that the financial crisis was just a blip and now this is the economy in its "natural state". Regardless, whatever the problem is, their solution is always lowering taxes on corporations and rich people. Whether the economy is doing poorly or well, that is what they will propose.
