JIM DEMINT (R-SC): The decisions that have been made about our economy over the last couple of years have brought our economy to its knees. This is no longer something we can blame on President Bush. In fact, the Democrats have been in control of policy making, economic policy spending, for four years now. This is not Bush’s recession. This is the result of Democrat economic polices. This nomination will continue our move in the wrong direction.

We actually agree with Demint that we can't blame this on Bush. Bush was just an empty vessel stuffed with standard GOP public policy. It was that standard GOP fiscal, economic and regulatory policy that caused the economic meltdown. Implement it again and we will suffer the same result.
