    My longstanding pet peeve with these studies is that they only look at the presidency rather than doing similar comparatives for Senate, House, states, etc. Consider the record under GOP vs Dem Senates.https://twitter.com/DLeonhardt/status/1356635618982379520 …

        Presidents matter to the economy, but a bunch of other actors do, too.

        GOP Senate with a Dem President seems like the best combo

        it also elevates the POTUS to some magic talisman that gives us bountiful harvests, if only we erect the correct golden calf.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        The best pet peeve is that federal policymakers outside of the Federal Reserve only have limited leverage on economic performance and supply-side macroeconomics are totally broken. Would love to see GOP action on supply-side microeconomics (especially housing/healthcare).

        The real problem is the small sample size and idiosyncracy of historical eras. FDR had a global war economy, so exponential growth was a given. Obama had the aftermath of the 2008 crisis and a Congress unwilling to pass sufficient stimulus. A protracted recession was a given.

        It’s just too easy to attribute these differences to things other than the partisanship of the President.

        To be fair, when was the last time that Congress actually performed a substantive role in setting policies that affect the economy, as opposed to the president using executive orders and bureaucracy to make policy?

        My pet peeve is that it doesn't matter to people involved in a cultural war. Nothing does, except cultural purity.
