Wasn't a hidden fact either
Saddam Hussein would've controlled 1/4 of the world's proven oil reserves at the time
Not good
Plus he was threatening Saudi Arabia
Bush and his admin made many mistakes
But to blame the entire thing on him, which is what "ran economy to the ground" means, is wrong
End of the day, the dotcom crash, Greenspan's insanely low rates late 90s, early 2000s, ppl buying houses they cant afford caused that crash
Bush admin did a lot after to fix it, Obama got credit for "fixing the economy" when he came in
In truth Obama slowed down that recovery which was already underway
