A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
1. Bush's economic advisors have been come and gone. They can't get it right.
2. His economic impact as a president cannot be judged without looking at the debt he saddled our children with. The paying down of that massive debt will affect economis long after Bush is dead.
3. That's a pretty chart. Don't forget some of that "rebound" is due to the government taking on all that debt. The government is buying things at a record pace. This is nice for short-term charts, but again, the bill will come due.
The only way to develop an economy in the long term is to develop more middle-class type jobs. We've lost and continue to lose those. Just wait till the steel tariffs are taken away in the next few months.
