Not that Bush made the best decisions, but what would you have done differently if you had a recession and 9/11 occur on your watch?

I never thought you would ask <g>.

O N E

I would have stimulated the economy by giving tax cuts to those that needed it most. They would have spent the money immediately and boosted the economy.

By giving the money to the rich, who knows how they would have spent it?

Some would not have spent it all - saving it for a rainy day.

Some would have spend it going on holiday abroad boosting the economy of others - but ultimately - who knows? It is all a crap shoot.

But if you gave it to the poor and middle class, you know they would have spent it immediately.

T W O

Instead of spending the money on Iraq, I would have spent it on homeland security. I would have spent some of it making sure our airports and seaports were safe.

I would have beefed up the military - adding two more divisions - and making sure they were properly equipped.

I would have gone after OBL and secured Afghanistan.

I would have fully enforced the no fly zone inside Iraq. I would have used airpower only (no land forces) to attack suspected WMD targets.

I would have squeezed Japan and Saudi Arabia to put more money into the WOT.

I would have worked harder to put Europe and our traditional allies on the same page when it came to fight the WOT.

This is not rocket science.
