Did you know that Bush signed more laws and executive orders amending

FDR changed the country from "united states" to a federal republic and
changed "promote the general welfare" to "guaranteed welfare" (at
least for those over 65).
That was the most significant change in our history. In fact the
SCOTUS ruled that some of his changes went too far.
Yep, as expected.....it's all the liberals fault.

There is no "fault" involved here, just facts.
Righhhhhhhht.....

The allegation was that Bush changed the meaning of the Constitution
the most, it is simply not true. Most of what Bush did could be
rectified in a stroke of the pen by Obama. If you are right, why
hasn't Obama fixed it all by now.
OTOH the FDR programs like SS and LBJ's Medicare are still here and
getting ready to bankrupt us. Medicare is already upside down. SS will
be in about 6 years.

Barry Goldwater predicted this in 1964 and wanted to put SS on a path
to sustainability then (when the boomers could have done it). He lost
the election, partially over that issue.

No, I said that Bush signed more laws and executive orders to amend the
Constitution than any other president.
