The harm Bush's policies have done to our country are obvious. Especially from someone like Soros's point of view: Dollar down 35% - makes us poorer as a nation by 35% Jobs losses - massive esp. considering huge deficit spending Tax cuts favor rich, hurt middleclass - major articles have backed this up including Republican book "Perfectly Legal". Bush's tax code is heavily rigged to favor the richest Americans. 2 trillion in new deficits and a lot more to come right before baby boomers retire - catatrophe in the making, huge issue everyone should agree on. Trickle down economics - once again proves it doesn't work. Creates almost no jobs and a huge drain to the treasury Also, massive cronyism (Halliburton the obvious example), letting energy and health/drugs gouge us (up 55% sice Bush took office despite no inflation), plus massive pork barrel spending Bush has let Tom Delay get away with. Bush is lucky Greenspan kept rates ultra low, otherwise we'd be a deep dark recession. People have been living off low interest loans. That is unsustainable too. One bright spot, the rich investor class has done well under Bush, along with oil, weapons, tobacco, timber cutters and much of wall street More poverty, less health care, less wages, less job security, more out-sourcing The average American though has done worse under Bush. I didn't wrote that? LOl yeah right.
