No, It is Not. Bush will run up $4 Trillion in red ink during his 8 years in office. That's almost double the national debt when he took office.

Bush and the GOP ruined the US economy just to give the very rich a big fat tax break many of them didn't even want, and to let their corporate cronies rip us all off. If you think you were personally helped by Bush's tax cuts you're insane. They've been picking your pocket since day one. The 13 trillion in new debt and the 60% plunge of the dollar has made us a poorer country and every tax-payer will now have to shoulder the burden of paying back the Bushie debts. The housing and stock markets are already in freefall and the bottom is still to come. In fact this could be the worst economic situation in our lifetimes. Almost all because of Bush policies. The great plundering of the USA by the elite Bushie bandits.

also the worst part is that trillions have been just plain stolen. Where did the money go? Follow the corporate interests who have donated the most to GOP rightwing coffers, and every single one of those corporate interests is bad for Americans and America, all the worst kind of corporate thieves, polluters, war profiteers and scoundrels.

Stupid liar. Bush's deficits are well over 10 trillion. The debacle in Iraq alone represents a pure debt real cost of over 1 trillion, plus the "war premium" on oil and gasoline from that debacle which costs our country an additional half trillion or so. You have got to be the most naive dildo I;'ve ever met if you believe Bushies for a minute about their supposed "sinking deficits". They have been lying to us about that from day one. Hell, they don't even include war costs, and the only reduction was from their initial outlandishly dishonest projections. But even those didn't include their Enron accounting tricks which are pushing trillions in new deficits down the road for the next administration to deal with. The entire Bushie economy is a big con job, a massive fraud concocted by the largest regulated special interests, especially those profiteering from war and sky-high energy costs. But it doesn't stop there. The fraud has been across the boards, like a big huge S+L debacle affecting dozens of industrial interests.

But in the end, Bush's economics won't even be good for the ones it was designed for, the very rich. Just look at the real estate and stock markets now. Unless you're in Euro-denominated investments or cashed out at the tops, it doesn't matter how rich you are, you're going to end up losing.
