Why do you keep bringing up Bush? We all know what happened. It has been
gone over and over until the subject has been beaten to death. Obama had
four years to get the economy moving again and he didn't do it. It should
have taken less than a year if he had let the small business man do what he
does best; i.e. make jobs. Instead Obama spent all of his energy getting the
stupid Health Care Bill passed.
We have had many bubbles over the years. The housing one is nothing new and
we always recovered quickly when the government stepped aside. Bubbles are
the consequence of the government messing around in the economy. Do I need
to explain that to you?
