The main stream media is not talking about Bush.  Coincidence?  I
think not.  The previous president, George Bush, is the poster child
of Republican idealogy, with his endless series of lies, corruption
and incompetence that managed to destroy not only the entire American
economy, but also the whole world's economy with it.  This is how Bush
ruined the American economy...by waging a very expensive and
completely unnecessary war, based on pure lies, which has cost us
almost a trillion dollars..which he not only did not pay for, but he
also instituted huge tax cuts at the same time.  Huge tax cuts, more
than half of those tax cuts went to the richest 1% only.

A basic history lesson.  In every war, thru out American history, from
the Revolutionary war, to the Vietnam war, to World War 2, taxes were
raised to pay for the war.  But not this war, the Iraq war was
completely unpaid for, and worse, Bush cut taxes at the same time.
THIS is the real cause of the huge deficit and astronomical debt that
is burying us alive, a debt that has just so horribly devastated our
financial markets, it is as if a giant tsunami engulfed the whole
planet with it.

And what's worse, the Republicans won't quit, they want more of the
same, they want to still continue the same old Bush policies, with
still more tax cuts for the rich and still more business and financial
deregulation on the very same corporations that have wreaked so much
havoc on the country's economy in the first place.  This is what the
Republicans want to do.  And if you hear them talk, they're still
after Social Security, deep down inside, they just want to see it
destroyed.  They want to create more poverty, and at the same time
they want to get rid of programs to help the poor, such as
Unemployment Insurance.  These guys are beyond insane, they're, for
all practical purposes, CRIMINALLY INSANE.

The unfunded war in Iraq, plus the huge tax cuts for the rich is the
real reason for reversing what was a budget surplus at the end of the
Clinton Presidency.  The Republicans deliberately set out to eliminate
that surplus and to turn that surplus into what is now a persistent
deficit.

If you listened to the media, especially FOX, you would think that it
was Obama who created this huge deficit and debt, and you would think
that it was Obama (and the Democrats) who gave all those hundreds of
billions of dollars to the corrupt fat cats of Wall Street.  The truth
is that it is Bush (and the Republicans) who gave away hundreds of
billions of our tax dollars to enrich their corporate benefactors of
Wall Street.  In reality, Obama (and the Democrats) have been trying
to get Wall Street to give back that money, and they've had some
success in doing that.
