I went through the oil embargo 70s, a couple of Reagan recessions, a Bush I recession, all before 2000, when Republicans really got their nation-destroying chops together for some proper, world class economic irresponsibility.
The 70s was really terrible, and lasted nearly an entire decade, but yeah, everything between that and 2008 was secondary.
Still, it demonstrates that the economy is usually at its worst under Republicans, and disastrous under MAGAs.
They have the self-described reputation as economically responsible, but in reality, they always screw up the economy. Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden all entered office with an active Republican economic downturn of their own making, and we’re forced to clean up the Republican mess before they could get their own agenda underway.
Biden not only had an economic recovery to navigate, he also had to launch an emergency Covid vaccination program, and he accomplished both ahead of schedule. If he had dealt with the severe national security threat of MAGA, and crushed them, and kept them out of office under the 14th Amendment, he’d be one of the Top 10 presidents of all time. Instead, his Covid/Economic successes will be forgotten, and he’ll be in the bottom 15.

Those weren’t on the scale of the housing and Covid crashes. Dot con was pretty bad, but still nothing like 2007/8
