The '90 "recession" started in July, 1990. About the same time the presidential campaign kicked off.

That's some crazy spin: "Unknown governor from Arkansas causes recession 2 1/2 years before election gets underway, President of the United States powerless to do anything about it..." Good luck with that one.

The 2001 recession is generally blamed on the collapse of the dot-com bubble, which seems reasonable.

Since when do you do reasonable? You do crazy conspiracy theories.

Your self-serving contradictory spin is ludicrous, laughable, and just plain stupid.

But it gets funnier. We've just had two consecutive quarters of more than 6% gdp contraction each and you say perhaps we're in a mild recession?

Total gdp contraction in 90-91 was 5%, in 2001 less than 2.5%. We're at -12% already and you say perhaps this is a mild recession?

Your posts simply aren't based in reality.
