Seriously. Let's go over some of the missteps of the previous administration. 9/11. Going into Iraq without proof. Taxes had only been cut one time in U.S. history before 2003 with the Bush tax cuts and the Iraq/Afghanistan wars and that was 2001 WITH THE FIRST ROUND OF BUSH TAX CUTS AND THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN. We also had a huge (whether you think it is justified or not) expansion of Medicare and we didn't pay for it. With that same Medicare expansion we also decided to give a huge "rent" to the pharmaceutical companies by not letting the government negotiate for better prices and instead agreeing to pay face value. The recession started on the G.W. Bush watch, whether you think it was his fault or not. The bailouts, the most people are united against, started under G.W. Bush.

Supply Side "Trickle Down" Economics does not work. President George H. W. Bush said as much when he was running for president when he called it "Voo Doo Economics." Bruce Bartlett, who's advised President Reagan and Congressman Ron Paul, says it does not work. Alan Greenspan, former FED chair and advocate for the Bush tax cuts, says they have to go.

Let's get a back and forth on this. A discussion.

Whoa. A few points I'd like to make.

1) 9/11 was absolutely NOT a misstep of the Bush Administration. There is PLENTY of blame to go around. If you're talking about the actual act of 9/11, those seeds were planted by previous administrations, Republican and Democrat.

2) As for going in to Iraq without proof, lets us not forget that all the politicians who promote this 'no proof' accusation also voted to go in guns blazing. Every...Last...One of them. The information may not have been valid, however Bush didn't trump it up as you may have been led to believe. At best it was a failure of intelligence sources including but not exclusive to the United States'. Personally, I believe the United Nations gave Sadam ample time to get 'set up' for an appropriate denial. But that's just me.

3) Medicare. You're blaming Bush for Medicare? I am...without words...

4) The 'recession' started on Bush's watch? Are out of your mind? Once again, the recession is the product of many failures, both Republican and Democrat and reaches all the way back to the Carter Administration.

My suggestion is to look beyond the spin machine through which so many people are indoctrinated. Trickle down? Trickle up? People much smarter than you or I can't agree. I can type someone else's mantra just as easily as the next guy.
