the federal deficit ,the weak dollar and low interest rates have a significant impact on the economy (and commodity/oil prices). tax cuts and annual refunds also have an impact on the economy.

what bush does, DOES have an impact on the economy. the notion that federal policies have no impact, or even a minimal impact, on the economy are absurd.

Also, the jobs numbers really started decling in Oct 2001.
that's a lie. the job numbers were declining months before 9/11.. even if we weren't attacked, we were still going to have a recession.
