In case anyone needed a reminder, the Republican Party’s economic record is atrocious. All but four of the last 17 recessions over the past century have come under Republican presidents.

The idea that the GOP is some force of economic strength is absurd.

@rbreich Do recessions occur due to events that can be constrained to the particular Republican president for these 17, or were economic conditions part of a general momentum, possibly beginning in a previous term?

@rbreich @DanHugo contrary to popular belief, the US is not the centre of the universe. Most recessions a global. Correlation does not equal causation - logic 101.

@BrentTyson @rbreich

That was sort of my point (expounded, well done). So the GOP-lead US is not… and there is more to all of it.
