LET'S CHECK HIS STATE'S CONDITION!
Yes, they loved to show how he left Arkansas in such shambles (much like the fake shambles he left the White House in) that he didn't deserve his second term. It's time to turn the tables and play it again...this time with George W. Bush! How's Texas doing?
Fort Worth ranks dead last in U.S. credit scores surveyThe Bush legacy of spending 'til you're naked!
Dallas-Fort Worth ranks dead last among major U.S. metropolitan cities in a recent survey of credit scores conducted by Experian, one of three national credit bureaus.
In a national sample of 2 million credit histories on file at the company based in the Costa Mesa, Calif., Dallas-Fort Worth residents had an average credit score of 653, behind Houston (655) and the study's top-ranked metro leaders in the study, Minneapolis (707) and Boston (705).
The national average of Experian's Plus credit score was 678. Texas also came in last among all states with a score of 652.
Your credit score is important because it helps determine what lenders charge in interest rates on mortgages, home equity lines of credit and car loans. It is also increasingly being used by potential employers, landlords and insurance agents to determine your financial health.
Texans' credit scores are being hurt because of late payments, said Charles Chung, vice president of consulting and analytics for Experian.
"Late payments in Texas are 50 to 60 percent greater than the national norm on average," Chung said. "They are the single biggest driver in Texas' credit score."
