BUSH HAS RUINED THE ECONOMY?

This is economic topic I choose.. I'm going to use 4chan as a reference, and quote some Anonymous'. If it doesnt work, oh well, the teacher isnt one to critique. So lets hear it.. how did Bush ruin the economy?
Time frame; since hes been in office.

Bush Pros:
Lower taxes HAVE aided economic growth. (Counterpoint: It is difficult to say precisely just how direct a relationship this is)
Bush Cons:
Enormous spending increases will inevitably force increases in interest rates and a weakening of the dollar.  Both will tend to slow the economy down. (Counterpoint: This will happen like 10 years from now, so, as usual, no one will ever make the connection between his policies and the recession we will face)
