The Bush Administration's Failed Economic and Fiscal Record

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 31, 2008

On July 28, 2008, the Bush Administration released its final Mid-Session Review of the budget. The new budget document showed a record deficit for 2009 – confirming that in eight years this Administration will have turned the largest surpluses in history into the largest deficits in history.

This dismal fiscal record is unfortunately just one aspect of this Administration’s failed economic record.
