yes I understand there is an economic cycle, doesn't mean steps can't be taken to lessen its impact, again nothing was done



1. The Fed cuts rates to all-time lows
2. Tax cuts to jump start economy

They both worked.

actually, they didnt' work. the tax cuts did get the economy to turn around, however, it hasn't created any jobs. Bush ended his term with the highest loss of jobs of any president EVER. The new economy has not been able to create jobs, and those that Bush has tried to create have been to little to late, paying $9000 a year less than they previously would have.
