NONE of you that have answered though have refuted these fundamental EVENTS happened!!
AND NONE of those historians have ALSO acknowledged these Fundamental events occurred evidently!!!
A) Didn't the marvelous dot.com ( that Clinton phony surplus bubble)* bust occur? YES! What did it cost?
1) $5 trillion in market losses which meant the taxpayers who had tax liabilities of $166 billion from 2002 and beyond GONE!
2) 300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts....billions in payroll taxes!!!
B) Did 9/11 happen??? YES what did that cost?
1) $2 trillion in losses meant $66 billion a year in reduced TAX payments from 2003 and beyond GONE!
2 145,00 jobs lost in NYC alone due to 9/11... what did that cost? Billions in payroll taxes!
C) DID the worst hurricane SEASONS not hurricanes SEASONS occur? YES what did that cost?
1) $1 trillion in losses meaning $33 billion a year in reduced tax revenues!
2) 400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
NO president IN HISTORY has every had such monumental shocks to the economy, the mental psyche of the nation AND after 2004 the MSM so vehemently biased in news reporting that historians WILL mark that period as the demise of the MSM as a profession that provided objective reporting!
As we get further from the years of the Bush admin, I am sure that the documents revealed will drop Bush even further down the scale. A mismanaged war in Afghanistan, an unneccessary war in Iraq, and a recession that was a hair from becoming the Second Great Republican Depression. Bush's mismanagement of the results of the natural disasters contributes to the already horrid record he was establishing as a President.
and if Obama grabs another 4 years and things just get worse he and Bush may be fighting for one of those bottom rungs....Obama should not even be considered in these rankings UNTIL he is done being President.....
