When the economy was booming in the mid-2000s, few people credited Bush for this surprising growth.
However, when it crashed in 2009, he was lambasted.
This is despite the fact that Democrats swept Congress in 2006 and government spending sharply increased.
However, in recent polling it was found that “[t]he percentage of those blaming Bush had only dropped by 10% by August of 2010, and subsequent surveys have shown that this number has remained relatively steady since then.
How can the number remain steady? The man has been out of office for over four years now, and yet he still gets blamed for the economy?
Are these people mad?
It would be as if you took your clothes to a dry cleaner, and they came back with stains. The dry cleaners changes ownership and is completely overhauled, and four years down the road you still blame the original owners for your current crop of clothes coming back stained.
At that point, it’s just superstition.
Perhaps President HW Bush was right when he talked about “voodoo economics”, except that they’re the property of the Left.
