Most Important Bush Domestic Policies Have FAILED

Most Important Bush Domestic Policies Have FAILED




Two of the most important domestic initiatives of the Bush Presidency are the Economy and Education. We continue to hear how great a job the Bush policies have done in these two areas. This week we have definitive data on the results of the past 6 years on how well the economy has impacted most Americans and how well the Public Education system is performing (No Child Left Behind).

First the Census Bureau has just released the data on the Economy and health Care in America. Here are the results from the past 6 years:

Average Annual wage after Inflation is down for both men and women workers.

Median Family Income after Inflation is below the level at the start of 2000.

Number of people without health coverage jumped from 44.8 Million in 2005 to 47 Million in 2006.

One out of every nine children has no health care and Bush threatens to VETO a bill to add health coverage to another 3.3 Million Children.


SAT scores in Math and Reading are down for the 8th year in a row.

NO MORE BS about how the Bush Policies have impacted the Economy, Health Care and Education. The results are in and Bush gets an “F”. The sources are The Educational Testing Service for the SAT scores and for the economic and health care results we have the U.S. Census Bureau!

lets see 8% unemployment is better than 4% unemployment.


Unemployment during Clinton was as low as 3.7%. The Census data deals with HOW much working Americans have to SPEND. They have LESS to spend in 2006 then in 2000 after inflation. How does that make the AVERAGE family better today?

Notice how gene blames everyones situation on Bush, and completely ignores Americans personal financial responsiblity.  What else do you expect from someone who expects the government to take care of every part of your life?

Go to your local Target or Wal-mart and tell that to all the people there buying useless junk.

That is not the issue. The Census data shows that people in 2006 have LESS to spend on the average then in 2000 despite the great Bush economic BOOM! Bush Ignored this fact and only Cherry Picked the fact that Median Family Income was higher then in 2005. It is still less then in 2000.

The ISSUE is The Average Family, after inflation, is worse off then in 2000. Thus the GREAT BUSH economic BOOM has not helped the Average Family- Just the wealthy!

More Than 1,800 Iraqis Killed in August
ROBERT H. REID (AP)
Civilian deaths rose in August to their second-highest monthly level this year, according to figures compiled Saturday by The Associated Press. That raises questions about whether U.S. strategy is working days before Congress receives landmark reports that will decide the course of the war.

It's actually a valid point considering how we have documented the liberal press publishing stories that were simply not true, and purely enemy propaganda.

We have also seen the press uncover stories that Bush and his minions would have kept secret if the could have done that.
