Bush's only campaign pledge he kept was cutting taxes for the wealthy. If you look at the fine print of his tax policy it shifts tax burdens from the rich to the middleclass so only the rich win. The deficit-financed crumbs he give the middleclass are more than offset by higher local taxes, education and health care costs, not to mention energy costs. The Medicare plan was a fraud. It was written by the HMO's and drug companies as payoffs to themselves at our expense. We were told it would cost 400 billion, instead as soon as it passed, Bushies admitted it was really 530 billion. Another big lie. It never would have passed at 530 billion. it needs to be scrapped and overhauled, cutting out 50-100 billion in profits to the Bush corporate contributors. Bush's education plan sounded good enough to get people like Ted Kennedy onboard, but then once it passed Bush didn't make sure it was funded, so it isn't. The feds put all these education mandates on local schools but won't pay the costs. Another Bush deception and failure. Bush is the worst on the environment, bad on foreign policy, mediocre on counter-terror and the economy, bad on jobs, bad on health care and education, terrible on fiscal responsibility and great for the very rich.
