There was no recession when Bush became president. Stop trying to rewrite history. And the shallow recession which began in March, 2001, wouldn't have even been a recession had 9.11 not happened. The collape of the dotcom bubble alone was not enough to send the economy into recession.Bush was also handed an economy headed into a recession.
No it wasn't. It was so good that Bush decided to give a $200 rebate back to taxpayers.
Wrong. the tech bubble collapsed before the recount was even done. The media douche bags kept trying to blame Bush for the collapse of the stock market when he wasn't even in office yet.
If not the dot com collapse, what do you think caused the recession?
The collapse of the bubble took place during 1999–2001. Some companies, such as pets.com and Webvan, failed completely. Others – such as Cisco, whose stock declined by 86% – lost a large portion of their market capitalization but remained stable and profitable.
