Oh well, seems struth was too cowardly to name the last Republican president to not have a recession on their watch. So I'll answer the question he was too afraid to answer. The reason he doesn't want to say is because in the entire history of this country, there's ever only been one Republican president to not have a recession on his watch. And that president was...
William Henry Harrison
...and the only reason Harrison didn't preside over a recession is because he regrettably died after only one month in office. Had he lived longer, he too would have had a recession. Just like every other Republican president.
On the flip side, 2 of the last 4 Democratic presidents did not have a recession on their watch, spanning 13 years between them.
So anytime a lying conservative tries to tell you the right is better at handling the economy, do as I do and laugh at them. Shit, even Trump knows the truth...
Obama. Clinton, Carter, all had recessions under the watches.
Recessions are normal things, the problem is how one responds. Under Dems, the recessions deepin'...look at Obama, look at FDR etc.
Kennedy had one, but he did the right thing, and his policies created a big boom, much like Reagan in response to the Carter recession.
Like I said, 2 out of the last 4 Democrats did not. LBJ did not and being the liar you are, you lied about Clinton too as there was no recession on his watch.
