You missed the point.
I did that on purpose because I didnt want to bore people with a dull monologue about economic Flow and Trends. It was a light hearted post.
I never said that Presidents control economic markets, I said that they can HAVE AN EFFECT. A big difference. Obviously if presidents did control our economy we would never have a bad economy, ever.
There are plenty of other examples that have effected economic trends both positively and negatively. Right off the top of my head: when the US went off the Silver standard, When Jackson closed the First National Bank, both were negatives, the Square Deal and New Deal both had positive effects.
Its kind of like bull riding, sometimes you can control the animal and sometimes the animal controls you.
