tax cuts
George Bush enacted two acts that called for tax relief: the Economic Growth and Tax Reconciliation Act of 2001, and the Job Growth and Tax Relief Act of 2003. These two acts were responsible for billions of dollars of tax relief, and job creation. Despite the benefits, these tax reforms were very controversial, because the wealthiest people were not paying the same percentage of their income as the middle class. Bush argued that this would help build up our economy, and help large corporations prosper, but many of the poorer families saw little benefit compared to that of the top 1%.
TARP
In 2008, President George W. Bush signed TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, into law. This program looked to stabilise the economy by inducing growth and prevent avoildable business foreclosures. TARP helped stabilise the banking system and the credit system with investments.
enron
Enron was a major energy company that got into legal trouble while Bush was in office. The company was tried for fraud, and suspected of insider trading. After many of Enron's investments failed and cost them billions of dollars, Enron engaged into partnerships with other businesses, but refused to share the debt that the other businesses had. Enron also managed to turn bank loans into profit while they filed their profit.
