ATR: Some Food For Though

Ok, this subject is completely off topic from music, but its election time. Im not the political type but ive noticed a pattern among past presidents during economic crisis'/recessions.

Major American recessions of the 20th/21st century:

• 1929-1939: The Great Depression
  Who was in office? Herbert Hoover (Republican)
  
• 1953-1958: The Recessions of 1953 and 1957
  Who was in office? Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican)
  
• 1973-1975: The 1973 Oil Crisis
  Who was in office? Richard Nixon (Republican) & Gerald Ford (Republican)
  
• 1980-1982: The Early 1980's Recession
  Who was in office? Jimmy Carter (Democrat) & Ronald Reagan (Republican)
  
• 1990-1991: The Early 1990's Recession
  Who was in office? George H. W. Bush (Republican)
  
• 2001-2003: The Early 2000's Recession
  Who was in office? George W. Bush (Republican)
  
• 2008- : The Economic Crisis of 2008?
  Who was in office? George W. Bush (Republican)

Here are some more facts to put this all into perspective:

• Herbert Hoover (Republican) plunged the country into its worst economic crisis with interventions and policies such as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which exacerbated the threats of the Great Depression.
  
• Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democrat) got the United States out of the Great Depression thanks in large part to The New Deal.
  
• Bill Clinton (Democrat) attained a federal budget surplus for the first time since the late 1960's.
  
• Under George W. Bush (Republican), the U.S. economy has dropped to new lows unseen since The Great Depression.

Notice the pattern. Just some food for thought...
