>Bush generated record tax revenues...

During one year. With a huge asterisk. Tax revenues set records 49 out of 57 years up until then, because other than in a recession, that's normal.

>and lowered unemployment to 4.5%

It was about there when he took office. And 8-9% when he left.

Not that I'm saying it was all his fault. Our economy has always been a house of cards to some degree. He did help let in the gust of wind that knocked it down this time...
