The run away ad hominem - nice!
:-) Do tell!
The books were cooked, and besides, like all dirty business of this type, there are two sets. The whole thing is as phony as the proverbial three dollar bill. My homeless friends didn't see any 'surplus'. What the country had was good credit. And maybe you don't recall so well. Things were falling apart during the summer of 2000, a full year and a half before Bush took office. I'll let you in on a little secret, the 'economy' was ruined by Wall Street hacks who put your mortgages and pensions into hedge funds and derivatives. The president has nothing to do with it, aside from assigning said hacks nice, cushy government posts. You can put Bozo the Clown in there and get exactly the same results. He will follow orders just like all the rest. If you are truly interested in a correction to the problem, you will look to the guy who has the power right now, and stop playing your little charade. You are only exposing your own biases...
Please, you're being no different than anybody else. You believe what you saw and heard on the TeeVee, and you do anything you can to protect and fortify your preconceptions, also brought to you by Procter & Gamble's 'Whiter Whites and Brighter Colors', so I understand the anger towards those who might try to enlighten you a little. Don't want to risk what little you have left.
