Let's step back a second and analyze the looney left’s favorite excuse. The inherited business. First of all, we all know that DemonRATS controlled all of Congress for Bush's last two years...whatever timidity Bush had 2000 - 2006, he had greater timidity during those 2 years...those leftists kind of took back over (and look at ‘em now.) As someone pointed out in a thread today, timid Republicans gave into the DemonRATS demands to have equal representation on the Congressional committees in 2000 to 2006 (is that happening now - OF COURSE NOT - now we're back to the ratio of the controlling party). So the RATS have been in full blown control mode at least since Jan. ‘07, and basically leading around a timid Bush and timid Republican party by the nose, with the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, lending rules and algorithms be damned. And now the RATS are in complete and utter control.
Let’ just posit the slow down started in perhaps Q4 2007 - and up until then millions of jobs, low unemployment, low interest rates and general economic growth prevailed...after the 9/11 recovery.
Did the RATS inherit that also? Sure, but they don't mention that ever, ever, never...that is not part of the Bush inheritance...
These people are patently absurd and illogical.
But then, Americans voted for change 2006 and 2008, and we can see how that's turning out.
