Excuse me for noticing, but Bush has been a complete DISASTER for our economy. This so called study of financial pros is really Republican asking other Republicans what they think. So blame it on the Democrats. Check out the partisan mix of financial advisors and you will see a much higher percentage of Republicans than in the general population

When the housing bubble predictably burst, Bush immediately acted to bail out the loan sharks that are directly responsible. That predictably goes over well with financial advisors. On the other hand, anyone seeing the increase in unsecured loans could also could predict the collapse of the housing market.

Bush is on pace to have doubled the national debt and tripled the longterm unfunded fiscal committments by the end of his two terms in office. It is no stretch of imagination to call this extremely reckless spending. The imbalance in the trade deficit has been typical through all of his years in office.
