George Bush was the worst president in American history.
He inherited a budget surplus, a strong economy, and a nation at peace.
He left us with a trillion dollar deficit, a collapsed economy, and two useless wars.

When you borrow $700 billion dollars from the Chinese to waste on the invasion of Iraq, it tends to trash your economy.
Maybe try staying on topic and doing it without the same tired and baseless slogans we hear like repetitious parrot phrases

The truth hurts, doesn't it, Dave?

If you really want to give THANKS for that great economy in the 1990's--write Bill Gates and John Chambers a Thank You letter--because Bill Clinton really wasn't signing 200K new private sector paychecks a month.
But we do know that because of the Clinton administration DE-REGULATING everything--Fannie/Freddie--AIG and including the Glass/Stegall Act of the 1930's protecting Americans from Wall Street--that this is now the cause of the financial collapse in this country today--including all of the bail-outs in banking--housing--and millions of JOBS lost.

So we can Thank Bill Clinton for this current mess--
We can also Thank Bill Clinton for not insisting that Sadam Husien keep WMD inspectors in Iraq--:we may have avoided having to invade Iraq. We can also thank Bill Clinton for not taking one of several shots at Bin Laden--which may have prevented 9/11--and of course we can Thank Bill Clinton--for handing over to G.W Bush the most inept--incorrect intelligence regarding Iraq and WMD.
Thanks Bill--what a great President you were--LOL

Phil Gramm snuck the deregulation into a spending bill on the day before Christmas recess in 1999. So it was the Republicans that deregulated Wall Street.
And George Bush's Wall Street regulators looked the other way while they ran a Ponzi scheme.
And George Bush received a memo entitled "Bin Laden determined to attack America" a month or so before 9/11, and he did nothing.
Nice try at rewriting history, however.
Unemployment was at around 6% for Bush's entire time in office. Everyone who wanted a job had one. Some folks, such as myself, had two.
Business didn't need to create a lot of jobs.
Really? Unemployment was 6% in 2008?
from 5 - 7.4 percentage points in 2008. and dropping through the floor as Bush left office.
Before a single Obama policy can take effect, what is the unemployment rate 8-10%?

The job growth during Clinton's terms is due to the peace dividend from ending the Cold War, the 1994 Congressional elections, Y2Ktech investment, telecom expansion from the internet, and the dotcom bubble. Some jobc creatiion was accelerated; some was never justified to begin with.
And then the bubble burst and 911 happened - both knocked the economy down quite a bit.
