Anything that is government funded is always biased to the left because government always promotes more government (socialism). How many recessions has the US suffered since WW2? Quite a few, depending on the source of the data. How many recessions (shrinkage) has the central government (Washington) endured? Absolutely none. Our central government has grown and continues to grow uncontrollably regardless of what else is happening in America.
Like colon cancer.
