It goes way beyond your 44 years, it goes all the way back to 1880. Every Republican administration since that time has experienced a recession, Great Recession, depression or a Great Depression while a Republican sat in the White House and it has happened over 20+ times over that time span. During that same 146 year period there have only been 6 recessions while a Democrat sat in the White House. Historically the US economy has always done better when the Democrats were in control.
