Let’s look at just a few of the statistics from the years under George W. Bush – objective measures of a job poorly done. The first one isn’t his doing alone, though he sure didn’t reverse what was started by his predecessor, Ronald Reagan. It’s the GINI Coefficient which measures Wealth Inequity<\/strong>:<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Leaving us with a Recession that may well result in a Depression:<\/div>\n
