>> The economy was flat on it's back, breathing it's last when Bush handed it to Obama. I don't think history will see it that way; history will recall that the Bush Administration saved the economy by enactment of TARP. Because there is no relationship between Bush's actions and the collapse of the economy, he will be blamed no more for the economic collapse than he is for 9/11. Which he isn't, amongst rational people. TARP solved the economic collapse. And we would have come back more strongly already had Obama not wasted a trillion dollars on so-called "stimulus".

National debt increased 60% under Speaker Pelosi from RedState by Dan Spencer (Profile) There are lots of reasons I will not miss Nancy Pelosi's extreme left wing speakership. There's Air Pelosi and radical legislation such Cap and Tax and ObamaCare. But the biggest reason to cheer the end of the ultra-Liberal/Progressive Pelosi Speakership is the national debt. In the four years that Pelosi was Speaker the national debt increased an unbelievable 60%. <span style='font-size:26px;color:red'> When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04 — that's $8.67 trillion. Today, the last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi's Speakership, the national debt is $13,871,130,353,817.40 — that's $13.87 trillion. A $5.2 trillion in just four years. The Pelosi debt works out to $44,662 for every man, woman and child who make up the 310,574,015 U.S. populace. And Liberals wonder why they are perceived as big spenders. </span>
