While reading this post last night about the bond market, I couldn’t help but notice the graphic linked halfway down. It’s a graph mapping the correlation between recessions and some other economic stuff. What caught my eye though is that according to the chart, every single recession in the last half a century has occurred under a Republican.
Now obviously Democrats do things to contribute to recessions too, I just think it’s funny that somehow Republicans are seen as more financially responsible given what the chart indicates.
