Take a look at the market indicies when Bush took office, when he left office (and Obama took office) and now.-Jan 2001 s&p 500 = 1366Feb 2009 s&p 500 = 735Friday s&p 500 = 1438

So, if your portfolio was in an S&P 500 index fund, when Bush left office it would have been worth a little over half what it was when Bush took office.-If you held on through Obama’s first term it would have returned to what it was when Bush took office, plus a little more, doubling while Obama was president.-Not too bad for a socialist, communist, fascist, muslim, bent on destroying the country. -I guess Obama haters don’t know that there is a stock market.
I did not imply anything, what I was doing was countering the argument that the national debt had doubled under the current administration.
And at least half of the increase that has happened was because of the recession that began before President Obama was even elected.
And GWBush was not even totally responsible for that recession, buthe does at least bear some of the blame, as the Republican Party it self seems to know, was he even invited to the RNC Convention?
And it is obvious that you do not believe in either facts nor numbers. So your arguments are just spurious at best. And that is really kind of sad in itself!
And you can not even go back to Fox so called NEWS, as they cancelled their discussion boards, sorry about that!

Pretty much same place but almost double the debt.

When Carter left office the debt was less than one trillion $. When Reagan left office it was over $5 trillion.
