bush not to blame for the economy???? then answer this question for me...

[greenbriar]

under clinton we made LESS money and had more to spend


under the idiot...we make more money and have less to spend


how do you explain that?

[islandmkl]

1. "too many houses..."

and "what's so bad about $4.00+ gasoline?"

[texastoast]

2. Who's not blaming him?

Surely no DUers??? Some of the trolls, yes, I can see that.

3. Of course he is to blame, along with Cheney

and all the secret meetings with energy, doing away with laws and restrictions on lenders etc. etc. I think they knew their economics would eventually cause a recession but their timing backfired. It happened about one year too soon and they are having a problem trying to blame the next president since one has not even been elected yet.

4. I remember when Bill was running the show and the machine was humming

I had a RW dolt make the argument that the economy is such huge things, has such momentum, that changing it's course is like steering a battleship. His point being that 6 years into the Clinton era the roaring economy should be attributed to the senior bush dolt.

Now the dolt followers are saying the same thing - in reverse. The bad economy is Clintons fault.

It don't make no sense.

5. The answer is that the national debt has been increasing faster

under shrub and Bush Sr., while Clinton managed to decrease the debt.

It matters.

6. easy

because under clinton we had MORE to spend if you count REAL dollars

the dollar is worth 38% less than it did in 2002.

therefore, you have to make significantly more just to make the same amount of money now

iow, a dollar is a dollar is a dollar?

not so much
