and yet we in the PO were delivering more unemployment checks than we had seen in quite a while....The notion that George W Bush would be considered a good President, by any measure, is just breathtaking.
The mess he left behind was historic.
The removal of the Taliban regime and the Saddam Hussein regime were historic victories in defending the United States and the world. The economic recession of 2008-2009 was primarily the fault of deregulatory practices that occurred before Bush was in office. Economically, George W. Bush's time in office had one of the lowest average unemployment rates in history.
According to the bureau of labor statistics, that's false. Bush had record low unemployment for 7 out of his 8 years in office. It was only in his last 6 months in office that the unemployment rate stayed above 5% and went up from there. The much higher levels of unemployment were reached during the first years of the Obama administration.
