Read my posts again.  I didn't say there are no relationship between the politics, philosophy and policies of who controls the White House and what the economy does nor did I claim there are no statistical facts to to explain the relationship.  Of course there are relationships between economic performance and politics, although not nearly as much as many assume, and the historic record of performance during times of Democratic vs Republican control should give a reasonable Republican pause.  I simply pointed out the record (history) of the performance and made it clear I was giving nothing more than that.  I made no attempt to get into the what and why of the history.  Maybe you can get into that nitty-gritty and give us a synopsis.  It might even be an eye-opener for you!
