Bush’s Economic Performance: A Final Tally →
Oh Bush and such!
The stock market more than tripled under Clinton’s tenure. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went from 3,241 when he took office to 10,587 on the day he left. It actually declined under Bush’s tenure, from 10,587 on the day he took office to 8,281 on the day he left. Between the recent stock market collapse and the housing crash, Bush destroyed more than $14 trillion in consumer wealth, a staggering, almost incomprehensible legacy of devastation that will haunt Americans for decades to come.
