Umm, Bush decreased taxes on the wealthy. Remember that? And because of that the middle class and the poor have been struggling ever since. Are you clueless? The wealthy have increased their wealth by 200%. The policies of the Bush administration carried over into the Obama administration. During the Bush administration the devastating effects of his tax cuts to the wealthy started showing up toward the end of his term.
If you remember, when Bush took office, there was a surplus created by Clinton. And during the Clinton years the middle class and the poor did much better. Many low income people raised their income because of the Clinton’s policies. It was during the Bush adminstration that their incomes started to decline and hit full force when he left.
Sure blame Obama because that is what you people do. If you knew anything about economics you would understand that it takes awhile for a president’s policies to be implemented fully. It took several years for Bush’s tax cuts to begin to hurt the middle class and the poor. When Obama took over he inherited a terrible situation with people losing jobs and having to go onto assistance.
Sad that you forget that a president can’t control everything. And there are many factors that have affected people. You can’t just have a blanket blame on one person.
Of course, you right wing people can’t think very well outside of the box and understand that NO ONE person is responsible for what happens in our economy.
