patientlywaiting: I wasn’t making a case for Bush. I was simply pointing out the facts that seemed to have been trampled on quite often on this forum (and others) surrounding how this whole thing got a big boost back in 1999. And as the facts state, good ole Slick Willie, Bill Clinton, was in lockstep with the evil Republicans, wasn’t he? Facts are facts……………that was the point and it had nothing to do with GWB, Bush has been a terrible President and he’s certainly not on my hit parade of good politicians but he’s NOT the creator of this out of control economic situation that I like to call, “The Big Mess”.
