that's your response?Bullshit.Uh...Sallow......where you around when Bush took office?dude seriously; you are simply LAUGHABLE
bush's unemployment average is 5.2% OVER THE WHOLE 8 YEARS
when Republicans mentioned this it was people LIKE YOU that pooh-pooed that, insisting many were in low-paying jobs
NOW THAT IT IS PROVEN TO BE THE CASE UNDER OBAMA, as evidenced by the THIRTEEN MILLION MORE ON FOOD STAMPS IN OBAMA'S SEVENTH YEAR, you want to cry that is being taken out of context. How typical!!
and of course we know you can work and still collect food stamps; and then you must conclude these are the jobs "created" under obama
AND OF COURSE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 45 MILLION or so on food stamps under obama ABSOLUTLEY NEEDS THE HELP; since the Left insists nobody is gaming the system
libs are losers who lie to themselves
Again lack of context and history.
Bush entered the White House with the economy in pretty good shape, a surplus instead of a deficit and a world at relative peace.
His agenda was to cut taxes on the rich, attack Iraq, piss off the Chinese and the Russians, and privatize SSI.
He immediately cut taxes on the rich and tried to re-ignite the cold war. He completely overlooked the trouble in the tech sector and chose instead to focus on bolstering a war/oil economy. He basically nullified the anti-ballistic missile treaty and allocated funding on weapon systems that were geared to provide defense against nuclear weapons.
The economy began falling apart and the Fed lowered interest rates. This heated up the housing market. Then 9/11 happened and Bush got his wish to attack Iraq.
Thus? The defense, housing and oil industry were on fire, on the government dime and responsible for the low UE. That didn't last long. Bush's crappy economy based on war/oil and housing fell apart in the second term.
The dot com surge that Clinton rode burst right before Clinton left office.......billions of dollars of "paper" wealth disappeared.....the middle class lost billions of "paper wealth" in investments in a matter of days.....middle class folk who were suddenly millionaires on paper and spending like there was no tomorrow and all of a sudden it stopped...
Hundreds of thousands lost their jobs as thousands of companies went belly up.
The rest of your post is meaningless because it is not based on fact....just your opinion.
But Bush did not enter the white house with the economy in pretty good shape. He entered it during a financial crisis.
Bullshit?
You mean there was no dot come bubble bursting?
The NASDAQ was not considered a place for the middle class to invest when it was surging in the 90's?
People did not "think" they were making money hand over fist and spending it on larger houses, boats, designer clothes, sports cars, etc.?
Or are you saying bullshit because you did not have a mature response.
The stock market from the first to the last day of Clinton's presidency rose 200%, 'bubble bursting' notwithstanding.
