All less than a year.

The one in the early 1990s was short enough that newly inaugurated Clinton got a stimulus package passed to goose the economy out of a recession, and the day that the *first* funds from that package were *allocated* (not spent, mind you, "allocated&quot was the day it was announced that the recession was over. (Press conference next day: The mere *promise* of the stimulus package was responsible for ending the recession.)
