Bush has failed on the economy, almost totally. The average American has been SCREWED by Bush-Cheney, the safety nets which used to be there having big holes in them now, and even the fat cats class who Bush-Cheney serve and give lavish gifts to are feeling the pain. The problems are threefold: - None of Bush's economy (or military occupation) are paid for and he counts his mammoth deficit spending as "growth", as a positive when it's a massive negative. Tax hawks have brainwashed the GOP into thinking taxes are an evil thing when in fact they're just "paying the bills". And when you don't pay the bills, you are irresponsible and even criminal. Bushies have advocating not paying taxes as a positive so they're borderline criminal here. - In order to fuel his short-term sugar high "boom", they have just been printing dollars, while keeping interest rates artificially low to fuel an unsustainable real estate rally. Now all that is busting and falling like a rock. The dollar has been falling for so long foreigners are now refusing to accept or buy dollars which means look out below. All that's saving us from $150 oil is OPEC still being willing to peg oil to the dollar. But will they for long? And will China keep buying dollars to prop up Bush's debt-spending driven economy? Already many big players are refusing the dollar. If that spreads, all bets are off. - In order to help the CEO and old money class, Bush has stripped taxes for corporations and actually rewarded them for shipping manufacturing overseas so the already damaged manufacturing base in this country is further decimated. It may get to the point where are we make are movies and weapons systems. All this has made the USA a service industry country addicted to massive consumption of cheap Chinese goods. But once people feel the pinch and have a houseful of junk, what happens next? People will still buy cheeseburgers but will they buy a new car or appliance? There is a limit to consumerism, especially when your car is drinking up $15 a day in Bush-priced gas. The Iraq debacle is also a huge depressing bummer which makes the US look very bad and which drains us and drags us down, not just financially speaking. It's no wonder now that GOP comer Huckabee is calling Bush-Cheney on their whoring themselves to Saudi Arabia at the expense or counter-terrorism and sky high gasoline prices. And sky-high gasoline prices were Bush-Chney's #1 priority going in. Remember they are both Texas oil mavens.
