LolRepublicans had total control of the government. They passed trillions in tax cuts. They started two unpaid for wars. Why do you guys keep trying to blame Democrats and Obama for what Republicans do? It’s a mystery to me. Do Republicans have any sense of responsibility for any of their damage?Is this a joke?The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. He did not.
Before the Democrats took Congress in 2007 unemployment was 4.1%, gas was $1.70 a gallon, and the economy was expanding.
Then the Democrats took Congress in 2007 and promptly destroyed the economy. When Obama became president in 2009 he made it twice as bad.
Let’s do a little math here:
Bush was president for 8 years, from 2001 to 2009.
As I said, in 2007 unemployment was 4.1% and the economy was expanding. That is SIX years into the Bush presidency mind you - SIX OUT OF EIGHT. (And BTW: 4.1% is almost perfect since there is no such thing as a 0% rate.)
Now, can anyone explain to me why the first six years of the eight-year Bush presidency was just fine, and then magically, when the Democrats took over Congress, the economy tanked? Simple: The Democrats took power. When they took power they pushed their social engineering policy of trying to let minorities who wants to own a house own a house whether they could afford it or not. All the bad loans the banks made, they were browbeat into that by the Left. And THAT was the first domino in line to fall.
As I said: The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. In fact, Democrats did, with policies that can find their genesis in the Clinton years
Stay tuned for Part Two.........
Good Bush economy attacked, bad Obama economy ignored by media
Obama didn't end the Great Recession that Bush didn't cause - AEI
Do you have Alzheimer's or something? Are you 12 yrs old?
The economy tanked in 2008. That's why the call it the 2008 financial crisis.
Remember subprime mortgages? Clinton's doing. But it all came down during Bush's watch. The real estate market was one huge Ponzi scheme.
Paulson was having dry heaves. Anyone remember that?
Gasoline was close to $5 and everyone was afraid it would hit $7/gal. Commodities jumped including oil. Especially oil. I remember Bush flooded the oil market to knock prices back down but I can't find any articles supporting that. I remember reading about it at the time though. Everyone ran to the commodities market and grain went so high it sparked Arab Spring in Egypt.
No one remembers all this? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone lol.
No one ever was taxed into success… Trying the same thing over and over again expecting different results. A genius once called that insanity
