This analysis says nothing because there are far too many factors that haven't been accounted for; and the timeline is too short with arbitrary start and end points. To understand what I mean just consider the real-estate bubble that began inflating in the Clinton years and continued through the Bush years, and finally burst right at the end of G.W Bush's last term; there is no reference to how many jobs were "created" or crowded out by this bubble, and you have provided no argument for the level of influence Bush's tax cut policy made in isolation from this bubble.

 

I believe the real estate bubble happened after the dotcom bubble, as money began to seek out the next investment opportunity and piled into the real estate sector with far too much funds.  This then fed on itself.

Anyhow, in regards to this, there is a question, and it is fundamental to economics on where the money should go, to handle situations that aren't in anyone's control.

Actually the real estate bubble started during the dotcom bubble.
