6. That is the recent history

the Great Recession of 2007-9 started under Bush

The 9/11 Recession under Bush was technically not a recession as it was negative growth in 2 of the last 3 quarters of 2001, but not consecutive quarters. So, the "Clinton Hangover" recession did not rise to a technical recession.

The Recession of the early 90s was under HW Bush (the Reagan Recession, or Reagan Hangover Recession )

The Reagan Recession/Great Recession (of it's time) was mid 81 to early 82 was under Reagan

The 1980 recession was under Carter, but was also mild and and Volcker raising interest rates big time helped get inflation under control and set up the growth of the 1980s.

The big recession before that was 73-75 under Nixon
