Gotta love how people say how Obama was garbage for 8 years and fail to mention GWB's crappy job.
Its like crapping on Trump for his relationship with Stormy but forgetting about Bill and Monica
tax increases and massive regulations and an anti business environment created 10 years of economic malaise
the economy always has recessions, we normally rebound from them quickly unless the government drops it's anchors, and then they create the great recession
Ronnie said government is the problem, free enterprise is the solution. Barrack said government is the solution, businesses are the problem. No embellishment whatsoever , polar opposite beliefs and polar opposite results.
W spent too much and mismanaged the war, if he had the surge from day one it would have been over years earlier and then Obama wouldn't have fucked up the entire region by pulling out and calling it "his greatest achievement ever", then blaming Bush when it all exploded in his face.
Bush cut taxes and that led to 50+ months of substantial economic growth, market growth, income growth, jobs growth.........., before a worldwide credit crisis sent us into a recession (which Barry made permanent)
Government is not the solution, you can't legislate Utopia, career politicians are blinded by some sort of intoxicating beltway fog that separates them from reality. They cannot micro manage the world, but they think they can and people have way too much faith in them.
On a final note, personal freedoms and large government are incompatible, just think about that for a second
