Yeah, he should take a page from klinton. On klintons 1st day, GDP was growing at better than 4%. By time the first midterms came up, he along with a dim-0 congress had shrunk that to barely 2%. Republicans took over both houses of congress and the best times economically that we’d seen up till then followed, until ken lay and friends boosted the stock market way out of proportion and then SOLD OUT, leaving grannies who were about to retire on their 401Ks, with nothing. That brought on the recession that was blamed on GW Bush.

Clinton did way with Glass-Steagal, which allowed banks to bundle bad loans. Then he increased the mandates of the CRA which pushed bad mortgages on people that could not afford them down the road when the ARM kicked in. That happened under George Bush and we had the loan crisis. All thanks to Bill CLinton.
