Nope, not at all, bush left us with massive amounts of debt, a destabilized middle easy, a failed war, tax cuts for the rich.. Reagan wasn't as bad.Forever, unless a Republican gets elected. Then every problem will have started the day of his inauguration and its all his fault.Obama was handed a disaster, he has dealt well.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - American household incomes lost ground last year and the poverty rate ticked up, a sign the U.S. economic expansion had yet to lead to gains for many Americans five years after the 2007-2009 recession.
The data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Wednesday, which showed the inflation-adjusted median income slipping to $53,657 last year from $54,462 in 2013, offered a reminder of the tepid nature of the economy's recovery.
"In 2014, real median household income was 6.5 percent lower
than in 2007, the year before the most recent recession," Census researchers wrote.
At the same time, the poverty rate ticked up to 14.8 percent from 14.5 percent in 2013, the data showed. Census researchers said the changes in both the median income and poverty rate were not statistically significant.
The Census Bureau also said the number of people in the United States without health insurance coverage fell to 33 million last year, or 10.4 percent of the population, from 41.8 million, or 13.3 percent, in 2013.
White House economists welcomed the sharp drop in the number of uninsured, which reflected the impact of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, and a steep decline in the child poverty rate.
Seven years on, and still decrying Bush.
Moron.
The Bush disaster will be with us for years to come
