Bush inherited a NEGATIVE .01 growth economy from Clinton.
9 months into his presidency the economy was hit with 9/11
Since then the economy has seen 28 STRAIGHT quarters of economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate in 125 years.
If it were not for the STUPID, STUPID Ethanol mandates and some other big-govt type spending the Bush Administration has done, gas prices would not have spiked and the national lenders would not have loaned money to people who CANT PAY THEIR MORTGAGE.
If we could get the govt/ to stop messing with the free market (mortgages, fuel subsidies, etc) then the FREE MARKET would fix itself.
See what has happened with oil prices? Nearing 100 a barrel with a hurricane and a war in Georgia.
Point it, Bush has been good for this economy. Low taxes always win in my book. Don't let the media convince you it is all so bad.
We are already too far there and the current Republicans are also to blame...I lay a lot of it on congress and not on Bush though. The legislation that forced lenders to lower the threshold in who qualifies for loans is what has gotten us into this mortgage mess. Also, legislation that mandates the use of Ethanol. Crap. Total Crap.
Boone Pickens is the ****. His plan is solid. The only part of it i am unsure of is how to harness and store wind energy. Yes, it works, but it only works when they are spinning and you cannot save the power.
That said, his plan plus a nuclear plant in every corner of every state and we will be able to say **** YOU to the middle East and let those ass hats blow each other to ****.
