"Yes, I can cherry pick good and bad statistics. " Where is the cherry picking? Where is the bad statistics? Oh yeah, you made that part up. "But you're trying to rewrite history." How so? "On 9/12, most everyone believed the economy would suffer badly" That they did. But, Bush cranked up spending and cut taxes. Both help prop up the economy. However, things moved slowly since then. Despite massive deficit spending.

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. You have big ones to post something as outrageously untrue as the crap you have posted up above.
