Yes, I can cherry pick good and bad statistics.

But you're trying to rewrite history. On 9/12, most everyone believed the economy would suffer badly and that we would have another attack within Bush's term.

As it turned out, the economy handled it well and we did not have another attack.

The current economic problems are largely a result of bad policy by the Democratic congress and massive, systemic government spending that cannot be stopped for SS and Medicare which have left the country teetering on bankruptcy.

Were we not $50 Trillion in debt on these failed social programs it would be no problem to borrow-and-spend our way out of this mess.

While we've given our Seniors a standard of living like no other people, we may find that this is what killed our democracy.
