Let's say everything you say about Bush is true. Do you honestly think the economic and social problems the US is now facing are a result of what he has done since he arrived at the Whitehouse? I am saying that under Clinton's EXAMPLE, the lying, cheating, etc. (including all of Bush's, Cheney's, Republican's, Democrat's, etc.) took a MAJOR turn for the worse from 1992 until 2000. Without Clinton's example, combined with the stock market/economy greed which did not just develop, but was a direct result of and the targeted plan of his actions, perhaps the problems would not have trickled down to every level of society. Maybe Bush and Cheney's activities would have gone on. Maybe some CEO's. But there was a MAJOR shift in the moral attitude of the entire country when its leader absolved all "sin." And it was DIRECTLY tied to MONEY. The janitor to the CEO felt no guilt at cheating, lying, stealing as long as the economy was good. I'm saying a lot of these people DID have a conscience before the economic boom of the 1990's. If you cannot see how this is all related, it matters not. The greed without conscience of a nation is now being shown for what it was -- all deception and lies. Seems the Bible says something about the devil being the great deceiver and the father of lies. I guess this was a pretty bad road for a nation to take. It may have always been on that road, but it was on a tricycle. Under Clinton, it boarded a train. That train is just beginning to derail.
