jerryzflies 0 #53 June 14, 2009 QuoteYou guys really have to yield the point. Though Bush may have declared his intent to lower taxes by March of 2001, I think it would be hard to attribute the recession to news of this. The boom was over. It makes a hell of a lot of sense to just admit that Bush didn't cause that one, and focus instead on all the responsibilities he has with this one (primarily deficit spending which makes responding to this recession much more painful). He had a nearly balance budget back then to work with...he did not leave the same to Obama. Which party was denying "The R word" for clearly partisan electoral reasons well into the fall of 2008, when early action could have lessened the impact?If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
