Once again Critical Thought Butchering Billy doesn't know what he's talking about. It's likely intellectual dishonesty, but heavy on ignorance too.
A. They suggest the economy was great under Carter, 1980

Look it up, "the double whammy".
B. Why wouldn't the causes of a recession be a factor? I could explain them to a PROG, but why waste the time? Just for kicks here's one. The
early 2000s recession was a decline in economic activity which mainly occurred in developed countries. Bush became POTUS January 2001.
C. If the POTUS is held accountable, HTF did you come to the conclusion congress isn't? Here are a few recent examples:
Recession beginning Dec. 2007, Democrats controlled House and equal numbers in the Senate.
Recession beginning July 1990, Democats controlled the House and Senate, and it wasn't close.
D. ILMAO @ POTUS' are cause for recessions. Sometimes they contribute toward the problem, such as Clinton, Bush, Obama and Carter.
E. Sometimes the cause for recessions occur on the former POTUS' watch.
F. Sometimes a recession runs deeper because of lack of faith in POTUS and congress (Obama & House & Senate controlled by Democrats).
I've obliterated the OP, same with the link I didn't have to open. I thought PROGS were supposed to be intelligent with all that college stuff, and their open minds?
