In the 1860-1935 era, there were 44 years that didn’t feature a war or financial crisis/recession.
In the years that followed, up to today, I counted 18 years (out of 73) that didn’t feature a war or financial crisis/recession.
As Mel Brooks said, ‘It’s good to be the king.’

anyone notice that the House has been controlled by the Democrats for the vast majority of time the past 60 years?
