Even now. The republicans are so afraid of even saying President Bush’s name. During the campaign they could have easily pointed out how Bush was handed 9/11 and two wars and yet we have 5% unemployment throughout most of his presidency. Until the rats took over the house that is. They never even mentioned it.
“and yet we have 5% unemployment throughout most of his presidency.”
We had a housing bubble. Low unemployment was going to last only as long as that bubble could keep growing.
