Low unemployment rates are usually considered good for the economy.



Expansionary policies to stimulate investment/business:



Increase Government Spending (Fiscal)



Lower Taxes (Fiscal)



GWBush has implemented many fiscal policies in terms of taxes to business (repatriation of foreign profits, and other tax incentives- you can find this by doing searches online)



In addition, the War has increased our government spending- and the recent hurricane devastations also increase government spending- this increases our overall spending and therefore GDP growth.



Hope this helps-
