The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. He did not.
Before the Democrats took Congress in 2006 unemployment was 4.1%, gas was $1.70 a gallon, and the economy was expanding.
Then the Democrats took Congress in 2006 and promptly destroyed the economy. When Obama became president in 2008 he made it twice as bad.
Let’s do a little math here:
Bush was president for 8 years, from 2000 to 2008.
As I said, in 2006 unemployment was 4.1% and the economy was expanding. That is SIX years into the Bush presidency mind you.
Now, can anyone explain to me why the first six years of the eight-year Bush presidency was just fine, and then magically, when the Democrats took over Congress, the economy tanked?
Here is a hint: Barney Frank forcing banks to give loans to unqualified minorities in an attempt to social engineer, and then those people defaulting on those loans which started the mortgage crisis.
What I can’t understand is why Republicans have allowed this massive lie to stand unchallenged.
