I've always heard market forces and policies dont take effect until the following presidency.

The top comment has a graph. If you ignore single term presidents, the pattern remains the same.

That seems like sarcasm because it is an overused excuse that republicans give for the bad usa economies under republican presidents.

I never once heard a reasonable explanation why policies only start to have an effect at the end of a year that is divisible by 4 or 8. It makes no sense if you think it through.
