[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 77488, member: 2189"] Brownie, You are correct. America's private debt and it rush to spend into debt is not Bush's fault. The problem is we have come to see gov't as the source of all solutions to all problems so therefore they must be the source of all problems too and the President is seen as the head of the gov't so it stands to reason he/or a she in the future I'm sure will always have to carry that burden of being the ultimate "at fault" scapegoat. Bush and the republicans in my book get very poor grades because they betrayed the core values of cutting the size of gov't and reducing the cost of gov't as well as the tax burden for all Americans no matter who they may be. The republican party has shown itself inept at being a party of leadership when it comes to it's what it calls it's core values. The problem IMO has been that the Bush adminstration has been taken over by neo-con fellow travelers who's track record and history are nothng more than reformed Trotskites (Irving Kristol, father of the neo-cons refers to himself in that fashion) who have taken leftist Statism and having seen the political shifting of the American body politic as well as the leftist movement being taken over by extreme radicals (again Kristol's explanation, not mine) and have brought this central planning and control over to the right and pulled Statist Fascism to the forefront of the American means of governance via the so-called American rightwing political front. Until the American public realizes that no matter which party you go with, the chain and yoke of Statist bondage is equally bad then it's like the trends will continue with some years being good and that President enjoying the outcome, like Clinton. You also have bad years like Bush has had and to be honest he's compounded some of the problems as well but many are inherited such as the economy was already turning south the last 6 months of Clinton's Presidency but again, when the actual effects are seen the person in office will get the blame no matter what. Bush has embraced the Statist Fascist model to the point now he can't back out because the pain would be intense. He's locked in to see it through now and there are no other options.
