they need something exciting to make them happen and in this case it was the internet. And a lapdog Fed and a President cheering every addition of irrationality to the exuberance. The same thing happened in the 1920's, but Republicans were the culprits then. Oh, and autos, airplanes, and radios were the things that made it "different this time". But if you care to blame Bush for current economic conditions, then you must blame FDR for the depression. WW2 ended it, not anything he did. waiting for the WMDs to show up. Where are they. Be careful that you let no crows loose you will have to eat later. bogus war OK. What was your solution to Iraq? Ignore it entirely? Keep uselessly nagging the UN? Inspections? You do remember, don't you, that inspections did not even start until the US had tens of thousands of troops sitting on Saddam's doorsteps and that he would not budge before then? And he still did all he could to block inspections? And that all that got him moving was the addition of more troops and more threats to use them? I think you are being rather simplistic about this. Would you have use park the entire US Army in Kuwait for the next 20 years while complete inspections were carried out? the bad economy Going back to the 1930's: Was FDR responsible for the bad economy? Or was it mountains of bad debt built up during the 1920's that hobbled it in the 1930's? Which explanation do you think is closer to the truth? huge budget deficits Point taken. The tax cut, and particularly the way it was structured, was stupidity.
