Why do liberals LIE and claim the economy wasn't good under Bush before the democrats took control of Congress?

GDP rose EVERY year under both Clinton AND Bush and it wasn't until democrats took control of Congress and then convinced everyone, including president Bush, not to do anything to fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

...and to say that Reagan's open market free trade policies don't work, how do you explain that in the past 3 decades, how did Reagan not only manage to be responsible for the MOST GDP growth of all presidents, but also to have a single year of GDP growth which was almost DOUBLE of the next biggest year of GDP growth?

    Well, according to your calendar, the Great Recession began about 15 minutes after the election. That's not enough time for Congress to have done anything. Live with it. W and Voldemort wrecked a good economy.

    i trust it develop into doing *truly* nicely the day formerly. also the day after. i'd be incorrect, yet i have considered no information that the our u . s . took a large swing to the left even as the Dems gained a majority. as a question of reality, people are upset in congress because it did not take a sturdy stand *adverse to* the rules of the Bush administration. We threw out the Republicans because we would have loved replace, and we are nevertheless waiting for it to ensue.

    That GDP growth was driven by unsustainable debt.

    It was primarily banking industry driven and for the public sector,

    can be laid at the feet of the conservatives.

    For the Governemnt's over-spending/under-taxing both parties must

    share the blame with us, the voters.

    "No more taxes! Whoopie!" - Look where it got us.

    Well, what good would it do them to tell the truth? The majority of their base will believe whatever they say because they don't bother to read and so don't know the truth. Besides, no two people see the truth in the same way.
