Speaking of Bush, what was his excuses for the unemployment rate skyrocketing from 4% to 10% during his presidency?Obama inheritied high unemployment, a bad economy, massive budget deficits, and two expensive wars, and a low standing on the world stage. Between his lack of leadership and a combative, ineffectual Congress, very little is getting resolved. But never mind the causes and players, there’s a Democrat in the White House. Everything is completely his fault.
He’s had more than two terms to fix the problems he was “left”. Are any of them fixed? And even if you still champion this president, wait until 2015 when the ACA finishes kicking in. So comforting to think that the same organizational skills now applied to the VA will then be applied to the rest of us.
to jase99 yes unemployment hit 7.8 % under bush with a higher participation rate
to radish house passes 195 job bills but harry stops them because he knows if people rely on a job have a job rather than gov hand out they are less likely to vote demo
Communism: The Republican red herring since 1917.Yes, we remember when the Bush Administration failed to act on a certain memo and its aftermath. We also remember that Bush used falsified evidence to convince the nation to divert military attention away from Afghanistan to invade and occupy a nation that had absolutely nothing to do with said attack. We remember that instead of raising taxes to pay for two wars, he cut taxes and kept the cost of said wars off of the official budget.That has very little, if anything, to do with the doubling of the unemployment rate during his administration.
