Has a Democrat POTUS ever ENDED a recession by being elected and enacting Dem policies?

Presidents that are elected following a major armed conflict do not count because the war ended the recession, not the POTUS and his policies.

Also, how many Dems have CAUSED a recession?


Historical economic pundits chime in.

Go.

FDR had the war and it's manufacturing demands to help him.

To be fair, WWII had more to do with that than his social programs

Dem policies throughout history have never caused a nation to prosper.

A nation usually builds wealth and power through capitalism, and slowly turns socialist over a period of time which weakens it to the point of a revolt/overthrow of government.

FDR’s policies were complete failures. When the British and French started stocking up on American goods, the Depression finally started to abate.

But he made sure we rewinded back to the 60’s though.

Welcome to the “no facts zone”

Your host - a bunch of southern tards who live in the worst state of the union by most all modern measures and blame everyone else for their shitty life.

His post is inaccurate, but where the hell did this come from? Projection?

Obama did hurt the economy and unemployment. He really hurt manufacturing jobs, and oil and gas jobs. He started a two year recession at least.

I'd love to hear you elaborate on this completely worthless statement.

Was the UCLA professor or the economist he cited the most, Milton Friedman, a Southern idiot?
