The Bush Legacy of Disaster Continues-A reminder for younger DU readers
Remember Bill Maher's cogent monologue from early Fall:

"Mr. President...There's no more money to spend. You used up all of that. You can't start another war because you also used up the army....On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two Trade Centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans…Maybe you're just not lucky!"

Based on Chimpy's family history, I submit that this is not about bad luck, but willful plundering of our country:

"...the Bush family plays into the Savings and Loan scandal, which involves not only many members of the Bush family but also many other politicians that are still in office and still part of the Bush Jr. administration today. Jeb Bush, George Bush Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars (note that this is about one quarter of our national debt)."

1. That means that the Bush family has created about 60% of the debt...
They are just like the royal families of Europe who taxed and spent their countries into bankruptcy.
