There exists considerable disagreement about whether the United
States president has a direct and measurable influence over the
economy. The analysis presented in Economic Actors, Economic
Behaviors, and Presidential Leadership suggests that while the
presidents have increased their rhetoric regarding the economy,
they have not had much success in shaping it. Despite attempts to
tailor rhetoric to influence specific actors, the presidents are
incredibly ineffective. Considering this research, Arthur argues
that the president s decision to address the economy so often must
stem from a symbolic placation or institutional necessity that is
intended to comfort constituencies or somehow garner electoral
advocacy from the party s base. No other viable explanation exists
given the lack of results presidents obtain from discussing the
economy and their persistent determination to do so. This
discrepancy suggests that presidential rhetoric on the economy is,
at best, a tool used to appear concerned about the economy to
everyone and toeing the party-line to their base. Moreover, it
allows them to present the facade to their constituents that they
are in control of a crucial facet of American life."
