Damn that Bush for continuing to screw up the economy

GWB got the ball rolling. He started the direction of escalating federal debt, quantitative easing, and lower interest rates on savings. Those are the things that are running amuck. Another major factor is Saudi Arabia glutting the oil market to maintain its dominance. US and our buddies were okay with that because they want to punish Putin for not going along with their global ambitions. Now there's a maniac terrorist ISIS that can't be stopped that happened in the vacuum caused by ousting effective Mideast leaders and out of control migration.

Perfect storm? Might be. Everything about it (except lowered oil prices by Saudi) started with GWB's initiatives.

So, yeah, GWB gets a real lot of the blame for getting the ball rolling. And the Republican "leadership" in DC gets a lot of blame for not stopping the increase in federal debt.

Well said.

And 100% on target.

It's never Obama’s/Democrat's fault, always our fault.

Couldn’t agree more.

You said,..”GWB got the ball rolling.”

You must be really young and don’t remember how Clinton cooked the books and really got the facade going.
