-I am not kidding & I am not a troll but I offer the following for reasoned discussion-
One could argue that Bush has actually helped the economy temporarily: Here's how.
By waging war in two nations he forced the Federal Reserve to maintain extraordinarily low interest rates.
Low rates have helped profits at many large companies. Think Ford, a bank posing as a car manufacturer.
Low rates have been a boon for the construction industry. Record new home starts and remodels due to low rates & home equity loans.
Low rates have caused housing prices to skyrocket. As a result of the wealth effect consumer spending continues to buoy the economy.
Low rates (and lower capital gains taxes) have kept the stock market artificially high. The resultant wealth effect has led to continued consumer spending.
Low rates have been a boon to banks, brokerages, and Fannie/Freddie. As an example, high equity indices are a boon to brokerages making margin loans. The higher individual's equity accounts stand the higher margin loan profits the brokerage stands to make.
One could argue that without Bush's helpful hand (vs. the invisible hand) we would have already met the financial day of reckoning because our speculative debt laden economy is unsustainable.
The two wars have been a boon to profits at defense & security related businesses.
Finally, energy related businesses are making a killing off of high petrol prices. With all the profits they'll be able to take on even the strongest environmental lobby to assure their continued profitability for years to come.
