See the thing is you point at every recession and say it was the obvious and unavoidable result of some policy you disagreed with. Recessions are an inevitable and necessary part of the cycle. They aren't happy joyjoy moments but they are to be expected and accepted. People, like you, who take every chance they can to say "a recession is coming because ______", act like you were right when the recession eventually come along.

It's like the guy who wakes up angry at his neighbor at 8 in the morning. At 9 he says darkness is coming because his neighbor was loud last night. At 10 he says darkness is coming because his neighbor left his garbage can out too long. At 11 it's because his neighbor voted republican last election. At 12 darkness is imminent because his neighbor's wife is brainwashed and won't listen to you. It goes on and on right up until dusk. Then at 8 PM he's running around the neighborhood screaming "I was right and you're stupid! I told you dark was coming and it's all the neighbor's fault! You deserve it because you didn't listen to my GENIUS!!!!"
