Actually, yes it did. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch ... priat.htmlActually, no, I don't. Because that never happened.
Also, this may surprise you but I'm not a Republican and I have and have had plenty of criticism for them as well. There were definitely things Bush did that I didn't like, but I'm also going to be honest with history and recognize that when placed on the scales, Democrats actually bear more fault for the economic collapse than do Republicans.
Tax cuts are proven in history to spur economic growth, thereby increasing revenue to the treasury and actually causing the rich to pay a greater share of the tax burden. Now there are things that can affect or derail that like unchecked spending in congress or a war, and I'll grant you Bush was a big spender, that's one of things I didn't like about him, but compared to Obama (and this fairy tale dream that all his spending is going to pay for itself) Bush was a virtual miser.
