Bush's economy and keeping two wars off the books didn't help.

Bush was, is and always will be an idiot, but he was also a soft belly
pandering ass kisser.

The U.S. economy is trashed by 1) the filthy government putting trade
agreements into place allowing dumping into the U.S. while preventing
exports to those same countries dumping, and 2) you losers buying the crap.
It is nearly impossible to buy any functional product in the U.S. any more
unless it is from a commercial or industrial supplier.

Bush was a worm, as was the preceding jackass AND the current jackass for
not explaining that to the ignorant masses.

Multiply that by "Americans" not caring, and you have a 3rd world country.
That status is evident everywhere you look. Well, 98% of the places you
look. Might as well quit bitching and adapt. You're screwed for the long
term.

I don't think the current jackass rates as highly on the jackass scale
when compared to the two previous. No need to review Bush. Clinton
did a lot of pandering to the global economic interests. When you're
riding high on an inflated market -- and taxes are rolling in from
short term profits on short term thinking, a lot of water can move
under the bridge while the few who understand the net effect are
drowned out by the irrational, foolish masses.

We've undercut our own industries, work force and failed to make the
investments in our own country. We've failed to incent companies to
keep their workforces here (or disincent them from moving their labor
elsewhere). We haven't made education a priority.

It's pretty depressing but I'd rather think about what can be done
than wallow in pity.
