An assemblage of videos mostly dating from the Bush administration years providing a small glimpse into why, during Bush's watch, our economy entered the near death spiral it is just beginning to recover from now. Economies have a momentum all their own, and it will require decades of near-flawless hands-on-the-controls manipulation to recover from this mess that is not only national, but global in scope. 

Add to that the Bush administration's advocating and justifying outsourcing and off shoring American manufacturing jobs - a policy echoed by conservatives today, and you have a complete recipe for national disaster. See the CBS News story "Building Blue-Collar...Burgers?"

Add to that the worldwide economic downturn largely as a result of GW Bush and the Neo-Republican Project for the New American Century's destabilization of the Middle East. The American economy is in a shambles because of Bush's ineptitude, and two wars financed with borrowed money - $5,600,000.00 per month (5 Billion, 600 Million dollars per month in 2007) and now Republicans blaming Obama and the Democrats for Bush's astronomically expensive fiasco want to secede from the United States, not realizing how much their states depend on Federal moneys -- even Texas through NASA and the military/defense industry which would leave.
