Will Bush add an economic depression to his already impressive resume?

Question

He spent 300 billion plus on Iraq while the country descended into economic hell. Of course, he isn't worried cause mummy's trust fund is still really big.

Answer 1

It's beginning to seem like that. Some historians had debated whether he was better than Herbert Hoover, but another Great Depression would cinch Bush's spot at the bottom of all Presidents.

Answer 2

People said the same thing about Reagan.

President Reagan spent big on bringing the Evil Empire to its knees, and we all know the result: the USSR had to disband its empire, and relinquish its sphere of influence over Eastern Europe. All that money Reagan spent was the best investment our country ever made.

Bush had a huge mess to clean up. I don't put all the blame on Clinton because the press forced him to divert so much of his attention and time on the numerous scandals they hounded him with. (I say, let a President do his job while in office)

Do you know how much the 9-11 attack cost our country? One hundred and eighty billion dollars. Don't just read that figure like it's chump change. Most other countries doen't even have a GNP that large. Bush has kept the country from being attacked for the last 7 years, and that is worth the price tag of safety.

Hey, I can understand you don't like Bush. I wish the government would stop actively devaluing the Dollar because it's killing me financially, but Bush knows the U.S. needs to protect its exports. He's got the toughest job, and the most thankless job, in the world. Cut him some slack.

Answer 3

These people answering must not have been awake for the past 6 years.

I hope they do know that 1 us$ = 2 Euro.

Unemployment is up.

the Peso is even creeping up on us.

Small businesses are at a low, Big corps are takin over.

That doesn't seem like a good economy to me.

Answer 4

This National Republican President couldn't find hisass with both hands and a flashlight!
Of course he would have to add this jumbled up economy where money from reduced taxes goes to the wealthiest and the poor get higher tuition fees, increased sales taxes, bridge tolls, property taxes ad nauseum!
Just add this failure to all the rest of the Republican right wing 'politiking' to help pharmacautical companys at the expense of the sick and elderly, and this idiotic attempt to grab oil reserves from Iraq that ended in THE COSTLIEST WAR in the history of mankind.
thanks

Answer 5

What a question, he already has! The fact that he and associates have not been impeached is what amazes me about the American public.

Answer 6

he might make it out of office, first, but it's gonna be soon....I hope people will remember who to blame it on when it happens

Answer 7

The US economy seems to be doing rather well in spite of fluctuations caused by the sudden influx of Democrats. If there is an economic depression, I'm sure it will be caused by their interference and heavy-handed attempts to "balance" things in their favor.

Answer 8

well heres the problem GENUS...clinton created a mess by ignoring
uss cole
african embassy bombings
wtc one
at least six chances to capture or kill bin laden in sudan
and of course a WORKING conservative had to, as they always do, clean up a liberal mess
sometimes that can get expensive.

Answer 9

IF YOU HATE PRESIDENT BUSH SO MUCH, PLEASE LEAVE THE COUNTRY!
At least there will be one less welfare recipient we have to take care of.

Answer 10

the economy is doing good
