What's your point?

And then the bubble his economic policies created, imploded.




How so ? What was it that Bush did which caused that to happen?

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand.

Speaking from personal experience ?

The childish attempt by you to call Bush a DRUNK and ignore dealing w/ the issue only proves my point. Thanks!

Oh REALLY?
Wow, I must have mis-interpreted it, or maybe I missed the part about "Making The World America."

Right-wing angry monkey seeing the world though fearful eyes
Not understanding that freedom's not simply a prize
The brass ring will differ from land to land
It would help if you removed your head from the sand.

Problem was, the tax cuts were too small, and came with too much excessive spending, such as... Iraq Aid.


Oh, come ON! You JUST finished telling me that Iraq was NOT a waste of money! Which is it? Was it not a waste, or was it too much excessive spending? I don't really see how it can be both.

Yup, and in one day I made $10,000. By that record, I make over $3,650,000 per year!

What you're conveniently forgetting - again - is that you have to take the bad with the good. Yes, the Dow peaked over 14000. And on Bush's last day in office, it closed under 8000. So your wonderful presidency - during which Bush either was or was not responsible for everything or anything - saw the Dow fall 45% in his last few years in office. That's change we can't afford!

I was wondering if you would miss the point. And you did.
Where did I call Bush a drunk?
See little monkey, I was comparing the two situations as having some good results from overall bad decisions, it was in no way calling Bush a drunk. Why? Is he? Do you have some personal knowledge you like to share with the rest of the class?
You are so lost, dude.

The war wasn't, but clearly, there was mismanagement and excess spending of the American tax payer's $$. Fleets of brand new garbage trucks and other maintenance vehicles were sent over to Iraq, when they clearly could have had a serious upgrade with slightly used vehicles, and the $$ for the NEW rigs spent over here. Inexcusable waste , no question, on part of the rebuilding of Iraq. But not the war.

That's how it can be " both ". Capiche ?

You seem used to having it both ways.
I wonder if that extends into other areas of your life, eh?

So what, his economic policy was responsible for the bubble when it looked good, but when it burst it's not down to him?

Make your mind up. Either Bush's economic policy resulted in a bubble, a bubble that gave you the 5% unemployment and high stock market index, or it didn't.

If it did, then take ownership of the bad, as well as the good. If it didn't stop whining about the low unemployment and high stock market.



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
