If Bush's actions had dragged out the Clinton Recession for 7 years I would have been raising hell.

Well, our unemployment rate is at 5.7 vs. your 5.3, but ours is unchanged over the course of the year where yours has come down.

But given our state is essentially a farming economy, at least for half of it, you can't really expect the kind of economic growth as in Washington. Probably never will. But we're not in debt like you are, either. We haven't promised stuff to public sector unions that we can't deliver on. In fact, our biggest economic threat is the Obamcare Medicaid expansion.
