7. Well, yeah- but only because it takes 8 years for the effects of economic policies to kick in.

Unless you're Ronald Reagan. Then it takes 16 years.

And unless you're Bush Senior. Then it takes 12 years.

It works for Bill Clinton. It took almost exactly eight years for his shitty economy to bloom on his successor. All the positives were the result of Reagan. Of course, all the negatives were the instantaneous effects of his own policies.

And of course, if you're GW Bush it's instantaneous. Unless that's inconvenient. Then it takes 12 years.
