For me, it was GW Bush crashing the economy (pre-Iraq) just as I got out of college.
It was Clinton's final year as president and the tech industry was booming.
Then Bush & Cheney started talking down the economy just to get elected ("[The economy] is not as good as they say it is!") and talked us into a #Recession.
By the end of the year (in time for the election), the economy had already begun to sour, and just three months into Dubya's presidency, I was out of a job.
