Bush Legacy: $1 Trillion Deficit and a Broken Economy
When President Bush leaves office this month, he will leave behind a legacy of debt, transforming the biggest surpluses in history into the biggest deficits, and affecting our ability to confront the current economic crisis that his Administration helped create. Over the past eight years, the Bush Administration has presided over the 5 largest deficits in history and implemented economic policies that have left millions more Americans unemployed. It will take years for new leadership to dig America out of this fiscal and economic hole.
