It has been about 27 years since we have had a 600+ day recession. They were very common during the first half of the last century. It makes me wonder if they will be common the first half of this century.

Looking at this chart again, seems like recessions were every 2-5 years from 1902 to 1981! Then 1981 it took 9 years for the next one in 1990. Then Clinton years took the most which was 11 years until the next recession when Bush came into office & 01 we had the next recession. Wow.

Does the country know this? If so, they would all be voting for Clinton this year!
