So then how is it "Bush's fault"?
I love how everyone has forgotten about 9/11.
9/11 basically had the country chomping at the bit to kick some ass - Cha-Ching two wars.
9/11 destabilized markets and industries- so low credits and tax cuts came in to calm investor fears.
Oil Prices went up.
The entire Federal Government was restructured, Homeland Security, ect
Of course Bush has to be a nice guy, good Christian he is, and there was an expansion of social welfare programs under him.
As far as the banks, go as Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. That was a mess 25 years in the making with biggest scumbags out there overseeing it.
Bush never tried to sell him self as a fiscal conservative, he was a "compassionate conservative".
