Economic expansion during the Bush years was dead slow. The only point where the growth rate started to accelerate was during the housing/mortgage/refinance boom of 2006-2007, just prior to the crash.

I've never heard any analyst, not even the craziest anti-tax fanatic, say that Bush's tax cuts made revenues go up. I have heard fanatics say that the slow recovery would have been much worse without the tax cuts, but they have never offered any proof, other than to say "taxes hold back the economy and it always grows after a tax cut."
