Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade"

longacre writes "Apple CEO Steve Jobs won over 30% of the vote in an online poll published by personal finance and investing news site SmartMoney.com, enough to earn their 'Person of the Decade' title by a solid margin over luminaries such as Warren Buffett (17%), Ben Bernanke (13%) and Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (12%). From the article: 'Certainly, Jobs accomplished more than probably any other CEO since he returned to Apple in the late 1990s: Not only did he revive sales at the failing computer company, he led the stock to a more than 700% increase in value, and forever changed the way people buy and listen to music.'"

Re:Exactly how did Bush sink the economy?

[PopeRatzo]

He took the country into two wars while simultaneously lowering taxes.

Yes, it was the first time in US history that was ever done.

Further, he paid for those two wars using borrowed money, and using "emergency appropriations" instead of putting the wars in the budget, so that it would seem like the budget deficit wasn't as bad as it really was.

By the way, those two wars, over 6 years, cost more than the Health Care Reform legislation will cost over the next ten years.
