Awwww, no more awesome CBPP revisionism? C'mon, you can dig up some criticism of the economy from before the mortgage collapse that may have some legs.
I mean sure, even nobel-laureat Joe Stiglitz
had to stretch his argument to "predict" repercussions well beyond the tax cuts' expiration in 2011 but I'm sure if you tried HARD ENOUGH you can pretend that Bush's presidency only happened during the last year AFTER the mortgage crisis. I mean Stiglitz is wrong about the consequences of removing the tax cuts, since
removing the tax cuts in 2011 would directly imperil 43 million American families, but I'm sure you could've rolled with something.
Unfortunately, Bush
really DID preside over two years of the highest federal collections in US History. Bush
truly DID preside over
more robust economic expansions than Clinton's 1990's 
You wanna talk COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS when in fact YOU have been blabbering about an imaginary "previous eight years" that is nothing more than
a summary of the last 11 months?! Quote:

Did you think for a second at all before ass-raping that submit button? Think real hard now: which nation's economies do Halliburton and Blackwater expend their ill-gotten gains in?
I know it's really hard for you, but the truth is that Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR, LevelThree, Bechtel, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, GE, GMC, Ford, are ALL AMERICAN COMPANIES that contribute directly to the American economy.
They feed their employees' children, they sustain their retirees pensions, they present the ONLY healthcare providers for their personnel and they subsidize MILLIONS of college tuitions every year.
I realize that to a person whose biggest concerns is how to get into that party this weekend and who has never had to worry about his mortgage payments, or his kid's medical bills it's REALLY REALLY FUN to blame everything on the American companies that sustain our prosperity, but back in the real world, those companies are the only thing sustaining the well-being of MILLIONS of your countrymen.
