Liberal mantra – blame Bush first!
uneducated people
AKA- liberals
False, our country was in debt big time and Bill Clinton came into office, paid it all off and we had a surplus.
Sorry, you lose, dirty republican.
i blame him for the inflation…destabilizing the middle east was a bad move
Your an effin liar posting BS with no source as usual. The tree of liberty will be refreshed with the blood of your kind.
yes! thankyou! another person who isn’t trying to place all the blame for everything wrong in america on President Bush.. he’s human.. he’ll make mistakes.. but not all the mistakes in the economy are his fault.. i also see Bill Clinton behind alot of the problems, Bush has done alot to try to work through these set-backs.. im just hoping that we dont end up with another Clinton in office to continue what Bill started
Not me.
Very good research… agreed not me. See my other answers on this today.
EDIT: Oh yeah Slick Willy paid it all off… by dismantling the US military. We’re paying for that today. It is the same way Hillary is running her campaign leaving workers and vendors unpaid so she can keep spending. She’s gone, thanks be to God and praise Allah!
bush started a war
I love it when you Bush-monkeys get all fired up in defense of fearless leader…..it’s precious.
Inspite of this rant on Clinton, it’s the war that got us in this mess.
It really doesn’t matter.
We have a “buck stops here” philosophy in this country.
I didn’t see this admin. doing anything trying to stop this mess.
They were spending like drunken sailors themselves.
Of course it has nothing to do with the trillions wasted and lost on the invasion/occupation of a sovereign nation. Or tax cuts that weren’t in the interest of the citizens.
Only retards and liberals think its all Bushs fault the economy is the way it is.
What else is new though?
We’ve already gotten to blame Clinton for 8 years, it’s Bush’s turn to get all the blame. HAHAHAHAHAHA
I blame the media for this economy.
Sorry, don’t buy this. Bush still insists the economy is good and says he hadn’t heard anything about the potential $4 a gallon of gas that’s coming. He lives in a fairy tale world. If Clinton was responsible for all this (which I doubt, not that I’m a big Clinton fan to begin with), why didn’t Bush do anything about it?
Oh wait, he’s too busy spending $500 million dollars a day based on a war he planned before he got into office and based on false information. Any good economist can tell you that a war the size of which is going on in Iraq is bad for the economy.
Democratic President. Republican Congress. Congress makes the law, President can only veto, or sign then enforce.
Try as you might one of these days you cons are going to have to stop trying to blame Clinton for everything.
Bush has been in the White house for over 7 years.. why hasn’t he fixed everything, if Clinton was so wrong.
Was it wrong of Clinton to warn Bush about bin Ladin.. but what did Bush do.. nothing!
Was it wrong of Clinton to leave the country with balanced budget… what did Bush do.. we now have the highest deficit in history.
Just a few things that your boy has screwed up… but there are many, many more.
So get real… Clinton is long gone.. all of these problems.. they all belong to Bush. Worst president in history.
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel-Prize winning economist.
It’s very simple. For 6 years, every time there has been any kind of good news about the economy Bush’s supporters gave him all the credit. It didn’t matter whether or not it had to do with any of his policies. Now he gets to take the blame. If the sub prime market was such a disaster under his predecessor then why was it never even mentioned by Bush until a few months ago? Clinton has been out of office for over 7 years. You sound foolish trying to blame him for this latest mess when the Bush administration has had ample time to address it.
Hey ACY. You are such a hypocrite. Because if Bill Clinton
was the president right now. You would say it is his fault.
Right ? Of course you would. Idiot……
“its the war”
WOW…..
it must be hard to be that ignorant of reality.
Presidents are like quarterbacks. Too much credit when things go well, and too much blame when things go bad.
Bush can be blamed for escalating the deficit, and the negative effects on that. Otherwise, many of the current drags on the economy are the result of cyclical patterns or factors beyond a President’s control.
Your reasoning for giving GWB a pass on the sub prime is pretty good. It is a situation that was created long before he took office.
It is also a small part of the overall economy. The next president is going to inherit an inflation problem because the FED has kept interest rates too low for too long. The housing bubble grew because of ” cheap money.” It burst because the whole sub prime premise is false. You can’t let banks loan money to people who probably can’t pay it back.
The heart of our economy is still manufacturing. All of the so called service sectors exist to service manufacturing. At the heart of our economy you still have to make something and sell it.
GWB’s economic legacy will be a huge national debt. (Shame on him for that.) The next president must focus on making US manufacturing companies more competitive on the world market. Our trade deficit is what’s killing us. As a nation, we cant keep spending more than we make.
