Quote:I know in the 1920s Republicans had a laiziferre (sp?) attitude, believing the government is not responsible for the economy's success or failure. Herbert Hoover got lazy because he saw the economy booming. I don't know any specifics but if this is true (and it must be if you learn it in American history class), only Republicans can be blamed for the stock market crash in 1929.

 

As for George Bush, anybody who was paying attention during his administration knows what caused the Great Recession in 2008.

 

"Laissez faire attitude" just means he didn't want to do anything.  But that still leaves the question: what should he have done?   That was my question, and you didn't answer it. 

 

And your answer about George W Bush is a total non-answer.  

 

You know what my questions were.  If you don't want to answer them, or can't, then just say so.
