Congratulations, George Bush! |
|
Whereas Herbert Hoover did an admirable job (by Republican standards) of letting the economy slide into depression during a time when there were no regulations or safety nets, you, my friend appear to be successful in plunging us into the next depression, despite New Deal-era protections. Way to go, George! Mission accomplished?

Great job, George {standing ovation!}
I was about to post pretty much the same thing!

He couldn't repeal all of the New Deal-era legislation (look at what happened to his effort to get rid of SS), so I guess this is the best way to make sure these protections are no longer useful.

4. He Has Truly Exceeded My Expectations |
|
I thought he'd be bad, but he is off the friggin' charts bad. We have been lurching from one crisis to another during his entire presidency. And, remember, he inherited a budget surplus, peace in the world, and a growing economy.

Maybe we've been giving him too little credit. Although, I suspect he's always been a figurehead.

7. Hey, give George a little credit, will ya? |
|
During his terms as pResident, he has learned to wipe his own ass, without getting shit all over his sleeves! A major accomplishment for the idiot son.
Of course, he still gets it all over his hands, and someone else has to clean that up. He still can't tell the difference between shit and blood, but he knows someone else needs to clean both up. :eyes:

You can{t get rid of onerous foreign debt and huge SS benefit obligations without massive inflation. Why, Uncle sam will be able to pay off all its obligations for pennies on the dollar.

12. The true goal of Reaganonomics - Inflate the country out of debt. |
|
Why *any* foreign country is still buying U.S. debt is beyond reason. Though it sure puts China's recent investments/colonization in Africa and South America into perspective.

They use a lot of gunboat diplomacy to sell those debts.
