In short you agree that the Bush tax cuts revived the economy. Thank you. And Bush tried the mini-stimulus (which I didn't think would work) because of the advice of a great many people, including many conservative economists, who told him it would be a disaster if he didn't do it. He didn't cause the financial meltdown (thank you Bill Clinton), and he tried to reform Fannie and Freddie. He did spend too much a lot of it probably to get Dem support for the war of terror.
The long and short of it is (1) no community reinvestment act (2) no Clinton admin forcing banks and lending instituitons to make bad loans (3) no Barney Frank or other Dems to stop reform of Fannie and Freddie (4) no financial crisis. Read Tom Sowell's "The Housing Boom and Bust" to get the lowdown.
What kind of regulations did W cut, which would boost the economy without raising debt?

Nope. W's government spending and debt buildup temporarily boosted the economy, and led to Obama being president and the troubles we have now.
