Seriously, does nobody find it surprising that Bush apparently was a better president when it came to the gap between the rich and poor then Clinton... who appears to be the worst president.

Him or Reagan anyway.

 

 

   Better as in he made the gap the widest its been since the gilded age over a century ago?  He completed what Reagan couldn't by making us oil barons and everyone else again.


Except.  He didn't... not really, The Gini coeefcient has raised a whole .001% vs Clintons like... 4% increase.

And honestly I hate bush. Never voted for him...

His increase has been the lowest since carter.  Honestly It's lower then Carters as well.  Bush has been the best president in regards to the gap between the rich and poor in recent history.  Somehow...

I can't figure out why... at all.  I mean with the housing bubble bursting one would think that would increase the gap... but no... it looks like it decreased it.

Honestly i'm stuped but i've got to take the data at face value.
