    The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.3% in January 2001, peaking at 6.3% in June 2003 and reaching a trough of 4.4% in March 2007.

    After an economic slowdown, the rate rose again to 6.1% in August 2008 and up to 7.2% in December 2008.

    From December 2007 when the recession started to December 2008, an additional 3.6 million people became unemployed.

    As of January 1, 2009, his last month in office, the nation lost 655,000 jobs, raising the unemployment rate to 7.8%, the highest level in more than 15 years…

    The economic policy of the George W. Bush administration was a combination of tax cuts, expenditures for fighting two wars, and a free-market ideology intended to de-emphasize the role of government in the private sector.

    He advocated the ownership society, premised on the concepts of individual accountability, less government, and the owning of property.

    During his first term (2001–2005), he sought and obtained Congressional approval for tax cuts: the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.

    These acts decreased reduced the capital gains tax, increased the child tax credit and eliminated the so-called "marriage penalty".


    Budgeted spending under President Bush averaged 19.9% of GDP, although tax receipts were lower.

    Bush had a pretty simplistic view of both world affairs, and of the economy. I remember his campaign speech about his economic "plan." Do you make money? You get a tax cut! I think he thought that if you just cut taxes for everyone, the rest would take care of itself.

    Then let's hear the rest. I'm putting you on the honor system - no googling, or yahooing, or anything. What was the rest of his economic plan?

    That's his economic plan?

    Bush promised that his tax cuts would create jobs.

    Instead, America lost jobs.

    The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.3% in January 2001, peaking at 6.3% in June 2003 and reaching a trough of 4.4% in March 2007.

    After an economic slowdown, the rate rose again to 6.1% in August 2008 and up to 7.2% in December 2008.

    From December 2007 when the recession started to December 2008, an additional 3.6 million people became unemployed.

    As of January 1, 2009, his last month in office, the nation lost 655,000 jobs, raising the unemployment rate to 7.8%, the highest level in more than 15 years…

    stop being obtuse and moronic. i've gone over this with you multiple times. you always act obtuse and i'm not biting this time. like i said, if you believe that was all his plan, even after i've linked you in the past, then you are dumb.
