Harvard Should Revoke MBA they Conferred on George W. Bush!



I guess the assessment of Professor Toshi Tsurumi, who was the economics teacher GWB had at Harvard, was correct when he said George Bush was one of his worst students. Professor Tsurumi said a teacher remembers the best and worst students over the years.

George Bush was fortunate in that when he took office we had a balanced budget for the first time in over two decades. We had tax rates that produced just enough revenue to meet our spending levels. Bush and his GOP supporters in Congress immediately set out to destroy that equilibrium by major tax cuts while at the same time dramatically increasing spending.

The Bush fiscal policies violated the most basic economic principals that he should have learned at Harvard. In addition, he ignored history when Reagan tried the very same thing in 1981 with the result of creating $3 Trillion of new debt with his Supply Side (Voodoo) economics.

A favorite sport of Republicans is to complain about the spending of Democrats. Ronald Reagan managed to create 3 times more debt in his 8 years then Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Carter combined. George W. Bush surpassed Reagan and will have added 4 times more debt then all those Democrats combined by January 2009. Whenever you hear Bush or any Republican talk about the spending of the Democrats take this Blog out and reread it.

If I were the President of Harvard, I would be embarrassed to know that there was a diploma that said George W. Bush was granted an MBA from our most prestigious university! Yes Professor Tsurumi, George W. Bush was most likely your WORST student!

So you support a war that killed almost 4,000 troops, injured another 29,000 and has done nothing to reduce the danger of future attacks. Great Plan.

So you support a tax cut that was justified by a Surplus that never existed and helped create a bigger deficit- Another winner.

Even these people see how big of a mistake they made by supporting Bush. We only need 3 % of the voters to wake up and vote for new policies. Bush only won by 2% in 2004 and lost by 500,000 votes in 2000.

once again AL GORE is not the only man to get the pop. vote and lose the office.


and even if bush only got the vote by .5% majority it is still a majority.

You may support the Bush results below but in 2006 we saw the majority of voters did not support these results and in 2008 I believe we will see even more who want a change. Notice how few GOP candidates sight Bush and his results as the seek support. They avoid him and his policies like the plague. Just keep ignoring the reality of what Bush has done but that will not STOP the change that will begin on January 20, 2009!

So you support our failure to protect our border and ports even after 9/11. Sounds like a plan to me.

I'm sorry your hero Hussein was executed, Col Gene, but there's still time. If you act now, you can move to Iran while Achmadinejad (sp?) is still in power!

you still want the government to tell the oil companies how much they can charge. and you want to take all the money from the rich that they don't "need". to "help" the poor. that is government control and is socialism.

Look at similar sized companies in different industries. The OIL business is not a FREE market. It is controlled by a relatively small number of huge companies that can manipulate the supply to impact the price and they all act in a similar manor. The option of buying the gas from another producer to pressure a company does not exist. Big Oil is an oligopoly and has control over the market.
