Did GW contribute to the circumstances that led to this mess? Sure, but the real blame lies with the 2006 democrat congress. I am sick of libs talking about “8 years of Bush and Republican control.” They are either stupid or lying or both when they ignore that congress went demscum in 2006, and it only took those demscum 2 years to trash a good economy.
Traditionally, the outgoing administration owns it’s economy.
There might be a myriad of reasons why it was the way it was, but it is still named for the previous presidency.
