Blame Bush, blame Clinton until you are blue in the face. Some of it might have been their fault. But we the American people are the ones who buys the products from other nations, some of us are the ones that bought the gas guzzing vehicles. Don't beleive me get up and look around your house at the products made from other countries, look under the hood of your American made vehicle and see if is all American. Go to Wally world and look at the toy section and find out that 95% of the toys are made from other countries, and who buys them me and you. So, who really is to blame. Also in this site look at "Trade Deficit Decreases in September" and look around it, some good news but it is not enough,
http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/www/ and the falling house problems, it was not Bush nor Clinton, who told some people that they were out spending themselves, it was the choice of some of the American people.
