Perhaps that is what the statistics show, but the logic of tax cuts being the sources of those recessions is flawed. Also, looking back, Bush was terrible. He was still a lot better than the alternative would have been. Sometimes you need to look at what could have been. The statistics would have been different if only democrats had won. They'd show more dem presidents in power during recessions. I can't prove that, but logic dictates it. Some of those recessions happened due to reasons other than tax breaks (in fact, all of them. Tax breaks do not cause recessions). But you can continue to believe democrat lies if you want.
