Strange...
The Republicans had control of the House from 1917 until 1933, and the Senate from 1919 until 1933.
The great depression followed.
Republicans had control of the House from 1995 until 2007, and the Senate from 1995 until 2007 (with 50/50 split from 2001 until 2003, but Vice President breaks ties, and he was a republican).
The 'great recession' followed.
Im sure its just a coincidence.
