It Is NOT Bush Bashing!

from JoeUser Forums




I can not count the number of times that Bloggers on Joeuser use this response, “it is just Bush Bashing” to articles I have posted. It is a lame excuse and attempt to divert attention from the factual outcomes that result from the policies we are following.

I looked back over some of the hundreds of Blogs I have posted on this site. Almost ALL were all predicated on either a news story (stories) or factual information in a report from an agency of the government or a legitimate research institute.


The issue is not if the results I reported were intended to make Bush look bad but to report what is taking place. If I reported the Treasury data that clearly shows the large increase in the National Debt or a comprehensive study for the U.S. Conference of Mayors that show that average salaries for new jobs is 30% less then the average salary of jobs lost, the retort is the same I am just “Bush Bashing”. The truth is I have accurately reported the facts and have sighted the source of those results. If the results are negative it is the consequences of the policies we are following not Bush Bashing.

What is astounding to me is the number of articles and studies that appear almost daily that show negative results. It could be graduation rates (The Education President), Greater dependence on foreign oil, the millions of illegal’s that came across our unprotected border since January 2001. It is hard to believe so many areas present an ever growing series of problems for our country.

It is not Bush Bashing. It is a candid and accurate presentation of the sate of affairs in the United States.

WHAT IS SAID IS IF BUSH HAD NOT ADDED $ 4trillion to the National Debt we would have a lot more money available to rebuild this and many other bridges!


There could be a budget surplus, and things still would not have changed.  Once again you can't do anything but stretch everything to make it about Bush.

OUR Fiscal Policy and the $4 Trillion of Debt that was addad since 2001 is because of BUSH and his choices.

And other factors which have been pointed out to you over the years, but you refuse to look at them because it takes away from your obsession with Bush.

As I said, and you ignored, even if there was a surplus nothing would have changed.  Minnesota didn't think bridge repairs were that important either.

“And other factors which have been pointed out to you over the years, but you refuse to look at them because it takes away from your obsession with Bush.”

I have acknowledged the debt that prior Presidents have added. However, by far MOST of the current $9 Trillion is the result of Reagan ($3 Trillion) and Bush ($4 Trillion). You can not increase spending and a cut tax without causing just what has taken place. It took from 1981 to 2000 to balance the budget after Reagan and his Voodoo economics. Bush did the very same thing with the SAME results. Bush was not handed the problem of an annual budget deficit. He created that problem by his tax and spending choices as passed by the GOP controlled Congress.

First Bush is still subtracting 200 Billion from Social Security and the 2007 deficit will still be about $400 Billion not counting the Social Security Surplus! That will take the National Debt OVER 9 Trillion by the end of the fiscal year. The Bush 2008 Budget will also project a deficit!
