How Bush Destroyed Our American Dream

[amoeba15]

Time to take off the gloves and set the record straight.

As Bush began his takeover of the White House in January 2001, the big debate in Washington was over what to do with a projected budget surplus of $2.2 trillion that President Clinton has left behind. That's over 2.2 trillion dollars. Not billions. The surplus was trillions. Remember? That's where we started.

Before Bush had control of our national treasury, the total budget surplus over first 10 years of this century was projected to be $4.56 trillion by the Congressional Budget Office. Man, things were different then! Before Bush, wages were on the rise, home ownership was on the rise, the dollar was strong and the job market was stable. All that has soured now.

3,875 soldiers dead and more than 28,000 wounded Americans, plus more than 1,000 private contractors killed and many more injured.

The costs of the invasion and occupation seem to have no end. This endless war was the result of a wrong turn. We've been stuck slogging through the results of the mistake for almost five years now.

How did all this happen anyway? How did President Bush move our country from a strong dollar, decent gasoline prices, a strong jobs market and a surplus in our national treasury into a situation where now we have the largest trade deficit, biggest national debt, fastest wage reductions, highest gas prices and a declining dollar?

THANK GOD OBAMA IS ON HAND TO SAVE AMERICANS FROM ALL OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE BUSHWHACKER, NEOCONS & THE BORG ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SOOOOOO PROUD OF!!!

The results of the ill-timed, and ill-advised actions of the previous administration have struck home in our household twice.

The first being when I lost what should have been an added retirement package, and yesterday, when my wife was informed they were closing the place she works in Human Resources.

Now, let's face it. To my wife and I, it was a serious set back, because she's going to be 63 years old when it closes, and we're going to be facing a couple of years of payment exorbitant amounts of money for insurance, first as COBRA, and secondly, when that ends.

Her chances of getting a job at 63 years of age? Absolutely none! She's also going to lose money in her Social Security. She also feels like she's "worthless" because she knows there's no chance of getting a job.

The next time someone tells her how good Bush was, or the Republicans, they might want to be wearing a steel cup. They're going to need it!

Sorry to hear about your wife losing her job. There is NOOOO FREAKIN way in Hades that Americans should be experiencing what we do today.

There is sooooo much suffering because Bush was and still is a boob.

My best to you and your wife. I will include you and your wife in my prayers and TOGETHER AMERICANS can overcome EIGHT AWFUL YEARS OF THE BUSHWHACKER.

Here is the truth of it all kids. There never was a surplus. That was all smoke and mirrors.

Secondly, this nation was already heading into a recession prior to Bush taking office. That is fact!

Bush cutting taxes and spending money on wars is no different than the current dipschit in office spending a stimulus package. Money spent is money spent period.

The Bush tax cuts acted as a stimulus that staved off the Clinton recession further perpetuating a false economy.

Let's keep it real.

The depth of your statement demonstrates why women shouldn't discuss politics.

I find your political rhetoric so dull and boring that I very much doubt if you sat on the very lap of the President you love so much that you both would not discuss the first thing that pops up.

I am convinced however that if Obama sat on Amoeba's lap, that Amoeba would certainly discuss in depth with Obama the first thing that pops up.

I don't even know why we are still discussing Bush.

Long ago, retarded children were put into asylums or locked away in closets shunned and hidden from society. They were an embarrasment. Now we elect them to office.

Now I totally disagree with that old practice, but in the case of Bush, it would have saved a lot of misery and death.

Continuing to talk about Bush to justify your positions is not a very good premise for debate.

It's like two retarded people arguing. Yeah you may win your side of the debate but you are still retarded. JMHO
