He actually did quite well. For the first six years we had
unemployment below 5%, the DJIA above 14,000, almost no inflation, 25
consecutive quarters of economic growth, and so on. All this in spite
of two wars, Katrina, and 9/11.


Don't forget the lowest job growth since WW II.


They all forget that. Student coming out of college and gong right
back home. Unemployment figures never go up when there is no hope of a job.

The whole W economy was an inflated bit of nothing built on deficit
spending and an overinflated housing market set for collapse. What is
the W legacy other than gross mismanagement?
