Have Bush's economic policies and tax cuts been good for the economy? Consider everything:

• the stock market
  
• the real estate market
  
• the banking market
  
• retail sales
  
• the federal deficit
  
• household income
  
• employment
  
• bankruptcies
  
• household savings and debt
  
• the value of the dollar
  
• inflation
  

Would you/everyone give back their 'tax cuts' for an improvement in any of the above?
