60. 8 years is about right...


These kinds of things take awhile to have their effect on the economy.


I'm not saying that clinton caused the recession.,.. just that hte idea that it would happen the next year and not 8 years later is silly.

Same thing for bush-- he could be destroying the economy and it might not take effect for 8 years... depending.
