That's the kind of argument that gets circular.

Due to the irresponsible lack of including what is called "latency"

What is the lead/lag time for each event?

If you answer that, you can then be accountable for the lag and lead time of each administration before and after...

Recession ... how long? Do you blame Reagan for Bush I recession?

War... who do you blame for this war, Clinton? What about Bush's failure in Iraq that is under reconsideration -- what about deals since Nixon that have handed the Saudis hundreds of billions with which to pay for terrorism, CIA ops to train them, etc...
Where does that fit? Can we safely ignore that?

Business scandals -- Bush businesses worldwide with terrorist-loving Arabs is well-known. The scandals with Clinton are hard-pressed to come up with anything other than whitewater, rather anemic, and don't contribute to terrorism then, or now, that we've heard of.

As far as budget "supervision", that requires leadership from the top.

and so forth
