I'd mention the timeline of the massive recession but you guys would accuse me of that "context" thing again.

Perhaps Bachmann is actually promising another big recession?

For someone who doesn't take me seriously you sure spend a lot of time plotting your cut and paste.

Would it start with the booming economy Bush inherited?

I don't think this recession is solved there Spence...I'm pretty sure your guy has us heading into a deeper recession..

Bush inherited an economy slipping into a recession as the tech bubble burst, but even with 9/11 nothing like the credit bubble in 2008.

The thing is, people believe the President has way more influence over this stuff than they really do. The major economic trends are driven by larger factors than US policy, we may influence, but don't dictate.
