How's that economy doing, anyway?

Good question. For the first six years of the Bush administration, it was
doing pretty well. Pulled out of a mild recession, low unemployment, 21
straight quarters of economic growth, low interest rates, high productivity,
massive amounts of new jobs, and so forth. These in spite of 9-11, Katrina,
and two wars.

Then the Democrats took over the Congress...


I think you better go back to the woodshed. Your fairy tale isn't even
close to being accurate. The stock market tanked shortly after Bush
took office after 8 years of blazing growth under Clinton.

The "new jobs" were low paying jobs that replaced the previous high
paying jobs. The Bish Administration went so far as to try and have
working at MacDonalds reclassified as a manufacturing job, to try and
hide the massive failure of the administration in that regard.
