National Bureau of Economic Research Reports Bush Recession Began March, 2001. |

Just as questions appeared to be dying down about his service in the
National Guard, President Bush faced a third controversy yesterday
over claims in an annual economic report that usually receives little
attention.
The new questions concern whether the recession began on Bush's watch
or before he took office.
Bush has asserted in speeches that he inherited the recession, and the
report adopts that view.
The charts and analyses in the 412-page "Economic Report of the
President," issued last week, put the "start of the recession" in the
fourth quarter of 2000 -- under President Bill Clinton.
But the National Bureau of Economic Research, which dates business
cycles, has said the recession lasted eight months beginning in March
2001 -- two months after Bush's inauguration.

"Corporations have been enthroned. An era of corruption in high places will
follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on
the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and
the Republic is destroyed. "

At this point it is clear that he knows it is a lie. I and others
have showed him that it is completely fabricated, several times. He
is intent on perpetuating in anyway.
Some people are just scum.

Wow! So, Bush managed to start a recession after being in office for
just under 2 months and without having one piece of economic legislation
passed. You clowns get more absurd every day.

WOW!
Coming from a BOZO that's a stellar compliment I guess! I recall December
through January 2000-2001 Shrub was talking down the economy, because as
pResident-select he was pushing for massive tax cuts. So without as you say,
not passing one piece of legislation he did as much harm as one with a bully
pulpit could do.

The tax cuts have done NOTHING to create jobs.
Thanks for playing.

Only a Bozo would think that a person who has yet to become President
has more power than the person actually sitting in the oval office.
Thanks for proving my point.

Actually it is the truth. What is the usual lie is comments by you rabid right
about clinton just getting the good times of the father. What is amazing is
the fact that the father was just as bad as the son. Neither should be allowed
to govern anything.

The claim was not that Bush started a recession.
The claim was that the recession started 2 months after Bush took office, not
while Clinton was in office.
Why make up a statement ("Bush managed to start a recession"), and then
ridicule it?
Could you find no fault in what was *actually claimed*?

Get your head out of the sand. The implication of the post is clear to
most, except you perhaps.

Get your head out of the sand. The implication of the post is clear to
most, except you perhaps.
The posted article did make a couple of *statements*.
It stated:
"The charts and analyses in the 412-page "Economic Report of the President,"
issued last week, put the "start of the recession" in the fourth quarter of
2000 -- under President Bill Clinton."
By claiming the recession started when Clinton was Presedent, Bush, himself,
raised the issue of exactly when the recession "started".
The article also states:
"But the National Bureau of Economic Research, which dates business cycles,
has said the recession lasted eight months beginning in March 2001 -- two
months after Bush's inauguration."
Notice, if you can, that the issue is *not* WHO STARTED the recession, but,
rather, WHEN the recession started.
It can be debated whether or not these two statements "imply" anything, but I
think one *can* arrive at a conclusion.
Bush, once again, made statements that were not in accord with the facts, or,
more simply, Bush lied again.

government will lead the American people, and the West in general, into an
unbearable hell and a choking life."
