Andrew PriceThis garish chart on the U.S. pre- and post-Bush comes straight from the Democratic Caucus (they might have cherry-picked a little), but it's hard to argue things have gotten better over the last seven years.
It would be a lot easer to argue that 9/11 and various other things outside of Bush's control contributed to these depressing numbers, if you were so inclined.
Thanks Jay.
