The decadence or the mid-2000s was pretty grotesque in hindsight

Bush signed the $1.35 trillion tax cut -- which includes soon-to-be-mailed rebate checks of up to $600 -- amid the kind of presidential pomp he usually disdains: a formal ceremony in the East Room, with a Marine band playing "Hail to the Chief."

There was a famous case in the 1900-1910's I think where there was a Great Depression style situation at risk of occuring - but the dude in charge of the finances in the country (Treasury secretary at that time?) decided to simply balance the budget, pay off the deficit and let everything sort itself out.
Deficit spending is really a recent fad if you think about it.
If we got our deficit paid off, taxes would be MUCH MUCH lower and create a virtuous cycle

Those were my formative years. My main memories are:
(1) Liberals being completely unhinged about George W. Bush, calling him Hitler, being convinced that voting machines in Ohio were rigged, etc.
(2) A series of surprising teams winning the World Series - Diamondbacks, Angels, Marlins, Red Sox, White Sox
(3) Dirty South rap just DOMINATING the airwaves
(4) Hummers and big SUVs everywhere
(5) A million articles about how the "exurbs" were the future of America
I'm sure if I had been "working" in "underwriting" at the time, instead of being in high school and college, I'd have even crazier stories to tell

speaking of baseball, i feel like post-2004 began baseball's descent from national relevance. in 2004, a-rod, ortiz, pedro, jeter, nomar, griffey, bonds were all MEGA-STARS on par with kobe, etc. Trout and Bryce Harper? meh

this was an ad that aired during the second bush administration for skinit.com. it has been mostly purged from the internet, but i managed to save a low-quality copy a while ago. i think this captures the mid-00's, pre-ITE "spirit" pretty well:

my vivid memory of this era is from, like, 2006, visiting my friend in his shitty low-tier 'gated community', and witnessing this fat shitboomer's yellow Hummer break down on the road next to one of the many under-construction mini-mcmansions. i think he was a developer or something, inspecting the site, and he ran out of gas.
but as he got out of his Hummer, he sprawled the door wide open and left his stereo on full-blast, and i could make out that it was some kind of Christian "How to be a Millionaire" positive-affirmation CD, just blaring, for the whole neighborhood to hear. i listened to it for 5 minutes, observing this fat shitboomer in Crocs, as he arranged for a tow-truck.
it synthesized so much of that era: Bush's 'Mega Church' capitalism, housing bubble, Chickenhawk militarism (yellow Hummer), easy money, shitbooming, blackberry.
