In a sense it can go "downhill again" as stated. If you actually do look into how the economy works, its trends over history, and its current state you'll see that even though, yes we are in a current dip in the economy it is turning. The rise of the economy will take many years to be above normal or rise above a recession. The average trend of the economy is 10yrs so whatever president does happen to correct the economy you wouldn't realize it until he is out of the office anyways. Bush has built steps; the same that many times throughout history have helped our country rise out of recessions far deeper than where we are now.
On a side note, studying for econ finals at the moment, Economics SUCKS lol

[A//// Guy]

Im studying for econ too.. haha.

Tool shmool. He does whats best for america right now. Whether it be his idea or his aides. The dow just hit 10gs again and the only reason the economy went into a dip was becuase of 9/11. If Clinton would have taken care of saddam and bin laden. Then we wouldnt be at war right now. The economy would be much better and so on... Like I said Bush is FIXING Clintons mistake of a presidency.

Tell me what Bush is doing that is soo bad. And then tell me what we should be doing now or how Gore (LOL) would fix it, or ignore it, till we get 9/11-ed again. Also tell me what Clinton did that was soo great. Cuz it must have been secret as I dont know about it.

The economy was in the crapper well before 9/11 from the tech bubble bursting and killing the stock market.

He was able to get head from someone other than his wife and not get kicked out of office for lieing (I know that's not spelling right, but I have a mind blank)..

[SlimStyleDSM]

Very true, hence the reason I have trouble viewing him as any type of a good man or president. Any man, president or local burger king server, should have the heart to realize what those vows mean. I believe it says a lot about his character or lack there of.

[SlimStyleDSM]

Also, who follows a leader that lies to them? If he'd lie about one thing, why not many more? :liar:

I agree with Peter that Bush is fixing Clinton's mess. Clinton had a chance to take out Bin Laden during his one of his terms but chose not to. It is because of that we suffered 9/11 which led to the start of the War on Terrorism along with taking an already *struggling* economy and basically throwing it into the trashcan.
Clinton was also the President that signed NAFTA into effect which has taken tens of thousands of jobs out of the hands of Americans and handed them over to lower paid inviduals in foreign countries. As far as I'm concerned NAFTA was one of the initial stages the struggling economy which then down the road, was hurt immensly by 9/11 which CLINTON could probably stopped in the first place.
