Hvil i fred HoreToreA man who casts no shadow has no soul.
From what i understand of economics we have boom and bust periods anyway, and it does seem that bush was unlucky enough to be in charge during a bust period, and of course im sure losing the twin towers had a little bit ofa negative effect on the economy also....
All that said Bush made the situation worse through bad policy choices, tax cuts and increased spending, these 3 things combined with a bust period anyway, is a combanation for disastier...
So, yes it is right to blame bush for the economy, just not completely...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Well, if you had a communist state and he controlled the whole economy, perhaps.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Bush deserves blame. Clinon deserves blame. Bush I deserves blame. Reagan deserves blame. Carter deserves blame. Bankers deserve blame. Credit agencies deserve blame. Mortgage companies and housing builders deserve blame. Congress deserves blame. And, most of all, the American citizens deserve blame for becoming lazy and apathetic, not doing our utmost to root out our own corrupt officials and spending like there was no tomorrow.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
"And if the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war and not popularity seeking. If they want peace, they and their relatives must stop the war." - William Tecumseh Sherman
“The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.” - Warren Buffett
Yes Bush is to blame. For the policies of his administrations and for being at the top of the hierarchy of anglo-style freemarket fundamentalism - the real culprit.

Europe didn't have a credit crunch. Neither did East Asia. America had one. Then this spilled over to the global financial system and the cardhouse came crumbling down, dragging everybody along into the abyss.
Our banks are doing okay. Nor do we live on credit the way Americans do. Yet we are dragged down into crisis and the ensuing global recession. Or, America had the party, we, the neighbours, get to clean up the rubbish the following morning.
Beyond bearable too is that America borrowed the money when the dollar was weak, i.e., they got tremendous value. Since the crisis unfolded the dollar has shot up in value. So America gets to pay back its loans on favourable terms. In other words, not only are the neighbours cleaning up the mess, they find out that they are the ones who actually footed the bill for the party too.
We are to America what the US taxpayers are to investment bankers. No matter how prudent we are about our own finances, we are the ones ending up paying. And no matter what happens, before or after the party, we pay for their caviar.

so no blame to the thousands of bad loans bankers gave? all of it is bushs fault?Yes Bush is to blame. For the policies of his administrations and for being at the top of the hierarchy of anglo-style freemarket fundamentalism - the real culprit.

Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
