Blame Game

    If Democrat Kamala Harris is elected to the presidency, America will see the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of 1929. So said Donald Trump in a campaign rally.
    But all the major recessions of the past 100 years occurred when a Republican was in the White House, beginning with Herbert Hoover as president. And that includes the Great Recession of 2008-2009, when George W. Bush, another Republican, was president.
   Others include the downturn of 1956, under Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the economic difficulties of 2017, when Trump himself was in the White House.
