I think it would be a fairly safe argument to make that a lot of the economic growth we saw during the beginning of the Bush years was due to the forming of the housing crisis that we are now reaping the benefits of. To be fair, part of the reason so much economic success was enjoyed under Clinton was due to the Internet boom. I guess the real question is what you do with the proceeds of that boom? Clinton left with a budget surplus, Bush spent it all and then some. It would be interesting to see how the economy when different parties where in control of congress.

The chart is the % change in GDP from the previous year. That shows the momentum of the economy, starting from where the economy was in 1929 it had a lot of room to improve. Hence the significant percentage increases. I will try to add a couple additional metrics that can be used to measure the economies performance.

Yet the people of America had more jobs, food, clothes...during WWII. There must be a better way to rate the status of the economy at a given time.
