Re: Because they controlled the environment in which business operates.

People keep talking about Bush's economic policies, or failed economic policies, yet it's hard to get anyone to give even a single example of one of these policies. It's almost like, I don't know what they did or didn't do, but it must have been wrong. Personally, I don't think the private sector business environment, at least that part of it over which the government has some influence, was materially different in the Bush administration than it was in the Clinton or Bush I administrations.
