Greatly improved the economy.
Presidents do NOT "greatly improve the economy".
Presidents do NOT "greatly deteriorate the economy".
George Bush should not get blamed for the recent recession.
Scumbag should not get credit for the Y2K driven boom in the late 90s.
Jimmy Carter did not cause inflation. Ronald Reagan did not cause the early 80s recession. Ronald Reagan did not cause the mid-late 80s boom.
REPEAT AFTER ME.......the biggest driver of the economy is the BUSINESS CYCLE!
All together now........the biggest driver of the economy is the BUSINESS CYCLE!
The business cycle is inanimate--no president, no person "greatly improves the business cycle" nor "greatly trashes the business cycle".
The United States represents less than 30% of the world economy. Our economy is linked to the world economy. George Bush is not president of China, nor is he president of Japan, nor of the UK, nor of Vietnam.
Please............never say a president "improves the economy" or a president "hurts the economy". You truly need to study up on economics.
If you visualize the Oval Office having levers and buttons that the president pushes to increase jobs, decrease jobs, or increase demand or decrease demand, or increase supply or to change trends or to come out with some new invention, then please take that visual out of your brain permenently.
For what it is worth, of all the recent presidents, the one who had the most impact on the economy was Ronald Reagan (for the positive).
The president does NOT control the economy, and he does not have levers and buttons in the WHite House that controls the economy. Please repeat that 1000 times before your next post.
