That 08-16 bump looks monumental. Needs a statue.

Did he have a choice? He took over during one of the worst economic downfalls this country ever experienced.

Also, look where it is headed right now.

And what about 81 - 96? I am just saying.. If you are going to call out one, you have to call out all.

That is terrifying. I'm a huge fan of Trump but let's be honest here - just like Bush, he's no real conservative. I don't think there are any actual conservatives left in the republican party.

There are some but they never come close to winning. I think someone like Rand Paul would try to curtail federal spending. And we might get legal weed.

Posted shitty economic numbers over his entire 8 years, all the while blaming Bush's presidency until he left office, only to claim that Trump's economy is his.

Oh.. and downvoting an Oweo post.

Like Trump, Obama didn't really have a choice at the time. Also, if you remember correctly, Bush actually started the stimulus crap back then just before he left office. Obama accelerated it bigly.

If you ask me, neither should've ever happened. The 2008 bailouts were mostly (if not all - I don't remember 100%) for corporations. This time it's spread out across workers and corporations. The 2008 bailouts should've been more focused on workers and this time we never should've even closed up in the first place.
