well, he never earned a dime that wasn't given to him.
his dad got him gigs from people that owed him and boy blunder quickly bankrupted them.
is it a surprise that he reports loses but conceals gains made from his corruptive actions?
But, but, he is losing money. How can that be. boutons, do you have an
answer to this delima. Clinton made millions and Bush with all his efforts to
help big oil lost money, even when it was at an all time high. Oh, Me, what
can the matter be.

Bush May Have Lost Wealth During Presidency

President Bush's financial fortunes appear to have declined over the past seven years, with his family assets dropping as low as $6.5 million, according to disclosure forms released yesterday.
Bush and his wife, Laura, were worth at least $9 million and as much as $24 million at the start of his term. The Bushes could still be worth as much as $20 million now, according to the financial do ents filed with the Office of Government Ethics, which requires assets to be reported only within broad ranges.
Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have fared better, reporting assets of at least $21 million and as much as $99 million, the forms show. The Cheneys are at least as wealthy as they were when the vice president entered office, and may have added as much as $29 million to their net worth during his tenure.
President Bush's biggest asset is a 1,600-acre family ranch near Crawford, Tex., which is listed as being worth between $1 million and $5 million. Most of the Bush family holdings are in real estate and a blind trust.
Last year, Bush reported assets of a minimum of $7.5 million.
The forms show that Bush and Cheney both received a variety of gifts last year, mostly related to outdoor activities. Among the gifts Bush kept were a $6,160 bicycle given to him by a Wisconsin bike manufacturer, custom Hawaiian shirts and fly-fishing equipment.
Cheney received a two-day vacation and a book on duck calls from the Greenbriar Lodge of Carlisle, Ark., valued at $1,600. He also received an $801 gift package from the Fox television show "24," including director's chairs, coffee mugs and DVDs.
The annual financial disclosure forms filed with the ethics office report assets and income figures in wide categories, making it impossible to determine exact figures on wealth. Tax forms released last month, however, showed 2007 income of $924,000 for the Bushes and $3 million for the Cheneys.

Always depend on old Clammy. Bush concealed all those gains. Yeah, baby.
I'm not surprised at all.
Bush is as clueless to his own finances as he is the USA's.
But Joe, all of you said he was making all this money from big oil. You cant
have it both ways.
I never said he was making lots of money from oil. Just proves how much of an idiot he is.
whats the big deal? its not like he earned any of the money he lost.
ray, you think 9 billion dollars just disappears?
He didn't own the Rangers?
you're so ing stupid
trust fund, dip .
Blind fund. Get it straight if you are going to argue something.
I could set up a "blind" fund or a trust fund. I don't blame him. i wouldn't want anyone looking at it either. "blind" is what you do to avoid leeches.
Bush is always blind to the facts...just like xray.
Don't worry, XZ, BigOil will enrich dubya and head, as it always has in order to get dubya and head to enrich BigOil.
Cheney makes his money off of oil.
Bush made his money of of one of the biggest tax increases a city in the state of Texas has ever seen. Otherwise, he has kind of a reverse Midas touch when it comes to business.
"Bush made his money of of one of the biggest tax increases a city in the state of Texas has ever seen."
He was brought into that deal by Poppie's super-wealthy buddies, the people who game the system to rip off citizens.
Obviously, dubya's completely incapable of initiating and closing such a deal. He was an ignorant bystander, pocketing "windfall taxes".
Are you really surprised? Since when has Dumbya ever succeeded at making money on his own? Hasn't done too well with the public trust either.
