Bush inherited a mess from Clinton(but didn't complain) and tried to fix the mini recession from MCI/WorldCom, Enron, DotCom bubble burst.
Yeah, Bush inherited 4% unemployment, 200 billion dollar surpluses, Peace, Prosperity........ what a fucking mess.
The 1%ers couldn't have that, so he fucked that up pretty quickly, bringing us wars, recessions, deficits and so on.
