Bushies have looted our economy like carpetbagging mega-thieves. These rightwingers who claim things are great because we had "growth" are so dishonest, as is Bush.

That so-called "growth" was mainly for the top 1-2% and GDP credits deficit spending and war costs as a positive, so their trillions in real deficit spending juiced the growth while their corporate cronies were ripping us off every which way from the private to the public sector and back again. Every single privatization scheme or tax cuts for corps and the rich is a huge ripoff scheme designed to steal from the middleclass, that is 80% the country who actually work for a living. Bush-cheney have also actively supported the tripling of gasoline prices and the 60% hikes in health care costs. And they have cut the dollar in half while selling us out to the Chinese and Saudis.

We are not in a recession. Before making stupid comments you should bother to look up the definition of a recession. Two quarters of negative GDP, we have not had a negative GDP, we have only had a reduction of growth. We won't even know for sure if we are headed for one till next April.
