It's hard to untangle just what Bush is responsible for, but what is clear is that he has chosen to attack nonexistent problems and to ignore problems that do exist. After the first Gulf War, Iraq was not a problem for the United States until Bush made it so. He picked a second fight on the basis of incorrect information. Many evil consequences have followed and will continue to follow. The budget and tax system of the United States was not a problem until Bush made it so. It was working quite well. Happily, the Congress does not seem disposed to allow him to make Social Security into a problem. The condition of the U. S. currency and our position in the world economy are real problems, as is the cost of energy. So is the international reputation of the United States. Bush behaves as if these problems are of little importance. I hope that a coalition of Republican Senators and Representatives--people like John McCain and Orrin Hatch--will take more control of the government and prevent Bush from doing any more damage. The President's duty is to carry out the wishes of the people as expressed in the Constitution and as made into law by the Congress. Bush seems to think his authority comes from God rather than from the people.
