This is ignoring the fact that economies have momentum. They don’t turn over in a day or two days or even a week takes a lot of years to build up. Republicans held both houses under bush for years and finally when Democrats took the house and the senate the Republican mess was just coming home to roost.Some history most don't recognize. I guess "they" (media and voters) figure the POTUS controls everything (i.e. simpletons).
During Clinton's best economic years, the Republicans had the majority in the Senate and House.
During Bush's best economic years, the Republicans had the majority in the Senate and House.
During Bush's worst economic years, the Democrats had the majority in the Senate and House.
During Obama's worst economic years, the Democrats had the majority in the Senate and House.
During Obama's best economic years, the Democrats initially had the majority in the Senate, but the Republicans had taken the House. Matter of fact, we didn't experience any economic improvement until after the Reps. took the House......The economy then showed much improvement after the Republicans took the Senate majority as well.
Under Trump the Republicans had the majority in the House and Senate, and the economy was outstanding.
Interesting right? But of course the Democrats won the majority in the House, just because. So, if the economy is to enter a recession, would a Democrat house be the cause or part?
Republicans are always trying to blame their mess on somebody else. Even Republicans on the USBB have said the Iraq war is the fault of Democrats. Can you believe that?
Then when something good happens, they try to take credit. Remember when Obama and seal team six took down Bin Laddn?
Republicans had the nerve to claim that it was what they did. They insist they should get the credit for it. Even after they quit looking for bin Laden and closed the CIA unit tasked with finding him.
