Chart Series: The Bush Economic Record
The JEC has compiled a series of charts examining various economic indicators, including job creation, health insurance coverage, unemployment, wages, debt held by public, etc. in an effort to paint a well-rounded picture of the Bush economy as compared to past administrations.
The President says his policies are working to make the economy strong and that all Americans are benefiting, but the facts show an economic record that has left the vast majority of American families behind.
A PDF of all Bush Economic Record Charts, along with the talking points are available on the right side of this page.
