correlation cause/effect

As well, saying something happened during an administration BECAUSE of an
administration violates several laws of logic, specifically:

* Coincidental Correlation (post hoc ergo propter hoc )
* Hasty Generalization


To say tax increases reduced the deficit (beyond the very short term)
violates:
* Irrelevant Conclusion ( ignoratio elenchi )
* Too broad of a definition (does not address dynamic factors).
* False Dilemma (does not address spending, particularly spending cuts as a
possibility)

And on and on...
