Yup Moonbeam, those damn W years were God awful. We had 4-5% unemployment, the stock market hit 14,000 in 2007.....it sucked, it really sucked. Deficit Spending was between 1.2 - 1.4% of the GDP. It sucked. It really sucked. Bush was 100% responsible for everything that is bad in the US.

While war and government growth helped with the unemployment rate, you can see from this chart that there was nothing exceptional during W's eight years. The rate had declined steadily during Clinton's eight years. All the major stock indices were lower when W left office, than when he entered.
