Hey Guys; Isn't it abit odd, that, during the Bush years we didn't need a 'Stimulus Plan'....the economy was going along just fine. The focus we all had was to avenge 9-11, stop terrorism on our doorstep, protect our country, protect our children from terrorists, make the WORLD safe for democracy. Just listen to Mr. Bush's speech at the onset of his 'Necessary Military Action'.....it wasn't a WAR...it was just a military action. For 8 years the economy was just fine, people were buying houses at 3 times their actual value, banks were lending money, credit was readily available, the stock market was good, business was thriving......few warned of impending doom, but hey, these were just discruntled partisan mutterings. More and more money was appropriated to protect this country from terrorism which threatened the entire world. Saddam had WMDs ready to be deployed, ready to annihilate cilivization as we know it. Iraq's Terrorism consummed the entire media with all the 'experts' showering us with their accessments of the current events. There was no need of any focus on commerce, haliburton's had a lock on the economy......and now we need a 'Stimilus Plan'. I say, we need a return to the years when credit flowed like a river; where homes soared in value, where jobs abounded, where our focus could be on more important issues, like ...if the world poker Tournament would be cancelled or not. HomeLand security was taking care of our country's security. When Bush reigned.....ANY AND ALL opposition was shouted down; and if that did not surffice we could always blame Clinton and insult Hillary. None of those media experts talk about the impeeding threat of terrorism, Al Queda, Talliban, now......No, now it's some 'Stimulas Plan'. Oh, wait, the bailout.....hell yes....and the bonus money....Those executives worked hard. Now it's all bout' eCONome. Bring back those good ol' days.....a day without blood is like a day without sunshine. WAR, actually is, piece. A piece of that, a piece of this. As for the Bush legacy....not many went down in the history of the United States of America as being the worst US president ever. And as far as being a world leader...Bush being the worst in the history of the world.
