I guess you haven't come across rabbi, racist stevie, steph, etc ..... just to name a few .....Moron, I went through some of those. Again, you listed a bunch of tropical storms and hurricanes that didn't even touch the U.S. You then call those, the "worst hurricane seasons." You're a moron and you prove it all the time.We're talking about hurricanes that hit the U.S., ya moron.None of those hurricanes occurred in FY 2003 or 2006 -- which you called the "worst hurricane seasons."
And all of those combined pale in comparison to Hurricane Bush, which cost us something like $30 trillion and 12 million jobs.
YOU are one of the most ignorant DUMMYs I've ever met!
I SAID "$1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history."
I didn't single out single seasons... I said during Bush's administration.....2001 to 2008!
PLUS you idiot there was hurricanes in 2003 and 2006...
2003!!!

DO YOU SEE there were hurricanes in 2003 and 2006 and they were part of Bush's 8 years!!!2003 had 1 major hurricane and 2006 had 1 minor hurricane. You know, years you described as the "worst hurricane seasons." You don't have a clue to what you're talking about and you're just making shit up because you like the way it sounds.
Meanwhile, you're ignoring Hurricane Bush, whose damages dwarfs that of all the hurricanes during his terms combined.
OH jeez talk about HYPERBOLE making things UP!
Tell that to the people from 2001 to 2008 that suffered through hurricanes... WORST HURRICANE SEASONS!!!
AND IDIOTS blaming Bush for what???
HeRE IS WHAT HAPPENED that idiots like you conveniently forget about happening during GWB's terms:

How about these events...was there ANY AFFECT on the economy?
Recession
1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Because you don't seem to comprehend... RECESSIONS are like football length tankers... it takes miles to turn one...i.e. so does
a "RECESSION"... it doesn't just start the day NBER states... it is a slow degradation and it started under CLINTON!!!

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
Again Clinton laid claim BUT someone had to pay and it occurred during Bush's first year! $5 trillion in market losses MEAN lost tax revenue
PLUS JOBS!!!!
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

Historical Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary
Largest Gross Domestic Product in history!!
When Bush took office in 2001 GDP was $12.355,271,000,000
when Bush left office in 2008 GDP was $14,359,490,000,000
A 16% increase in GDP or $2 TRILLION.
So how did those 4 gigantic events affect the Gross Domestic Product from 2000 to 2009?
So starting in 2001 132,548,000 people were working.
At the end of 2008 138,056,000 people working..
IN spite of recession, dot.com bust, 9/11, worst hurricanes.... MORE people were working... more tax revenue was collected. GDP grew!
But IDIOTS like you FFOs and LIPs ..............
WHY is it so hard for idiots like you to RECOGNIZE that these EVENTS cost jobs?
No doubt he is by far the dumbest I have encountered here so far.
