Republicans still don't understand how enormous of a disaster the Bush Admin was

[rdean]

You would think that looking back, even the GOP base would understand how big of a disaster the Bush administration was. All of their enormous failures. How they damaged the country. They can't even name something positive from that horrible and failed administration.

Considering the enormity of the disaster, why is it they don't get it?

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Perhaps we can get your thoughts on Millard Fillmore?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

8 years of record trillions added to the debt, record numbers on welfare, 100 million out of work, lowest gdps in our countries history under O's watch......but yeah, lets go back and blame bush. Lol. This only makes the rdeans look like the petulant little school girls that they are.

Oh we understand, Dean. We first had the Tea Party, then 8 years of Obama, and now Trump, and now we're starting into the Pit of Hell of President Hillary. Believe me, we share your pain.

 

[TNHarley]

Neither does the left. That's why they elected bush 2.0 and soon to be bush 3.0X10
You dumbfucks have ZERO awareness

The most terrifying thing to me is how close we came to complete global economic collapse. Few people outside economics and academica understand how critical our situation had become. Were it not for the fortuitous timing of our election cycle, allowing us to reverse policy and infuse massive amounts of stimulus into our economy that was teetering on the edge of total disintegration (which would have resulted in catastrophic global economic depression), we wouldn't be sitting here fat and happy blaming Obama for not fixing things much more quickly and more to our liking.

As it was, we've suffered irreversible fundamental systemic damage, damage that can never be repaired. Trillions and trillions of dollars of accumulated wealth evaporated and millions of livelihoods crushed. And it was entirely preventable. It was inexcusable for Fed Chairman Greenspan to be taken "completely unawares" by the collapse because of his unwavering faith that our financial institutions were capable of regulating themselves, if only out of their own self-interest.

I don't favor the death penalty, but sometimes I think we should have built a special gallows on the White House lawn and hanged the principals of the Bush administration and the Fed Chairman, and left the bodies to sway in the wind in perpetuity as a reminder to every occupant of the Oval Office who follows what is in store for him if he thinks deregulation is the way to go.

Trillions from the deficit creating Bush Tax cuts - Obama's fault? Doesn't make sense.

4.7% unemployment, 5.8 million unfilled jobs. Morons call that 100 million of out work.

73 straight months of economic growth. Fools call that a disaster.

Ahahaha your post is rich with irony since you failed to give a single example of what Bush did wrong and how frequently Democratic party leaders supported Bush and funded his initiatives. Or how Obama doubled down on many Bush policies and doubled the national debt while accomplishing jack shit for it. Go hide under your rock.

 

[easyt65]

...and yet the 'Bush Disaster' pales in comparison to Obama's Presidency and Hillary's last 30 years...

You don't make sense. Letting people keep more of their hard earned money creates debt in Libville, but not in reality. Liberals assume all spending is God's work and must go on regardless. In fact, even slowing spending growth is considered a cut in spending. Somewhere in Libville it's written in stone that we must spend like there's no tomorrow.

I realize you are too far gone for information you don't already believe but for the others:

(and there's more detailed analysis on the page about the ten big myths libs live by)


Ten Myths About the Bush Tax Cuts
Nearly all of the conventional wisdom about the Bush tax cuts is wrong. In reality:

• The tax cuts have not substantially reduced current tax revenues, which were in fact not far from the 2000 pre-tax cut baseline and over the 2003 pre-tax cut baseline in 2006;
• The increased child tax credit, 10 percent tax bracket, and fix of the alternative minimum tax (AMT) reduced tax revenues much more than most of the "tax cuts for the rich";
• Economic growth rates have more than doubled since the 2003 tax cuts; and
• The tax cuts shifted even more of the income tax burden toward the rich.

Ten Myths About the Bush Tax Cuts-and the Facts
Myth #1: Tax revenues remain low.
Fact: Tax revenues are above the historical average, even after the tax cuts.

Myth #2: The Bush tax cuts substantially reduced 2006 revenues and expanded the budget deficit.
Fact: Nearly all of the 2006 budget deficit resulted from additional spending above the baseline.

Myth #3: Supply-side economics assumes that all tax cuts immediately pay for themselves.
Fact: It assumes replenishment of some but not necessarily all lost revenues.

Myth #4: Capital gains tax cuts do not pay for themselves.
Fact: Capital gains tax revenues doubled following the 2003 tax cut.

Myth #5: The Bush tax cuts are to blame for the projected long-term budget deficits.
Fact: Projections show that entitlement costs will dwarf the projected large revenue increases.

Myth #6: Raising tax rates is the best way to raise revenue.
Fact: Tax revenues correlate with economic growth, not tax rates.

Myth #7: Reversing the upper-income tax cuts would raise substantial revenues.
Fact: The low-income tax cuts reduced revenues the most.

Myth #8: Tax cuts help the economy by "putting money in people's pockets."
Fact: Pro-growth tax cuts support incentives for productive behavior.

Myth #9: The Bush tax cuts have not helped the economy.
Fact: The economy responded strongly to the 2003 tax cuts.

Myth #10: The Bush tax cuts were tilted toward the rich.
Fact: The rich are now shouldering even more of the income tax burden.

No, no. The unemployment numbers are derived differently now to paint the admin in a nice light. Idiots refuse to acknowledge the part time jobs that have been added and not full time. You still didn't answer the question of the lowest gdps in the history of this nation. There is no lipstick that will disguise the pig that you are trying to cast off as a queen.

Republicans want a higher GDP. One of the longest periods, if not the longest period of economic growth in the entire history of the US and the only thing they can say is it's not enough. And Remember, these are the people who watched millions of jobs move out of the country and over 42,000 factories close from 2001 to 2008. And then worked to bring Obama down at the expense of the good of the country and you know they can never, ever deny that. It's been thoroughly documented.
And right wingers refuse to acknowledge the 5.8 million jobs open, unfilled and available to those with the right skills. But you need some kind of schooling. Republicans and schooling. In a way the thought of both of them together is both hilarious and distasteful.

America has near record 5.8 million job openings
