Did Republicans deliberately crash the US economy? | Michael Cohen | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Quote:

So why does the US economy stink?

Why has job creation in America slowed to a crawl? Why, after several months of economic hope, are things suddenly turning sour? The culprits might seem obvious – uncertainty in Europe, an uneven economic recovery, fiscal and monetary policymakers immobilized and incapable of acting. But increasingly, Democrats are making the argument that the real culprit for the country's economic woes lies in a more discrete location: with the Republican Party.

Well I would not in fact blame it on any one party - per se...

But under Bush; 9/11 "attacks" missed completely. BTW ever wonder why the letters NSA never made it into the 9/11 commission report??

Also under Bush, economy almost allowed to flounder. How bad or how close? It was within days (perhaps hours) of total economic collapse. Still Bush didn't do much except pass the buck.

By far the worst incident... Katrina

Bush ran every company he ever worked for ( excuse me, was CEO of) into the ground. Why did the US think he was going to do better with their economy?

It was (is) certainly a risk they were (are) willing to take to gain complete power.
