George Bush Pens Economic Coloring Book

George Bush's new economic coloring book
This summer, you'll be able to purchase a new coloring book on economic strategies by ex president George Bush.  
Think Progress
That Bush believes the country needs his thoughts on how to create economic growth is laughable. After all, under his watch, “growth in investment, GDP, and employment all posted their worst performance of any post-war expansion,” while “overall monthly job growth was the worst of any cycle since at least February 1945, and household income growth was negative for the first cycle since tracking began in 1967.” As the Economic Policy Institute found, “between the end of the 2001 recession (2001Q4) and the peak of that expansion (2007Q4), the U.S. economy experienced the worst economic expansion of the post-war era.”

***Correction.***
I stated that George Bush is penning a coloring book.  This is incorrect.  George Bush is writing a comic book.  I regret the error.
