George Bush: a “B” in ECON101

QUESTION: Do you think there’s a risk of a recession? How do you rate that?

BUSH: You know, you need to talk to economists. I think I got a B in Econ 101. I got an A, however, in keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.

Someone (Michael Roston) actually checked though and it turns out that Bush received grades of 71 and 72 in Economics — a grade that “would correspond with a C-”
