It was eight years of capitalism, deregulation, low taxes, and getting paid. For vast swaths of people in DC and NYC, that's all that matters. The rest of the other bullshit doesn't count.<br /><br />Make no mistake, Bush got people paid and because of that in about a decade from now we are going to be talking about how Bush ended the dictators in the middle east by destablizing it, and saved us from economic collapse before Obama fucked it up.<br /><br />History will forgive anything if you deregulate and cut taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-40967600013040281632014-01-10T07:55:33.830-06:002014-01-10T07:55:33.830-06:00That's why they are rich and we are not.That's why they are rich and we are not.JerryBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-61999436974314232382014-01-10T01:02:00.273-06:002014-01-10T01:02:00.273-06:00Professional Left darling Charles Pierce makes a g...Professional Left darling Charles Pierce makes a great big both sides shit sandwich over at his blog:<br />http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/trade-bill-in-congress-010914<br /><br />The comment section over at Esquire gets it.

NIXON! What's wrong with these people, sense they neither proportion nor shame?<br /><br />Anyway, back to my bunker to prepare for the coming onslaught.<br />Horace Boothroyd IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-33298967013315545032014-01-09T20:55:41.330-06:002014-01-09T20:55:41.330-06:00Sadly Bush is being rehabilitated here in DC.
The...Sadly Bush is being rehabilitated here in DC.<br /><br />There is talk of how screwing up the middle east lead to the Arab spring. There is talk of how he started the bailouts that did all the good and set us on the road for the current recovery, which only slowed down because of various Obama actions. There is talk of how his admin was less secretive and more social than Obama's. There is talk of his very good stance on immigration. There is talk of his kindness and honesty.<br /><br />Don't count Bush out yet. Reagan was god damn horrid and left in a certain amount of disgrace for various reasons. Yet enough people got rich off his tax cuts they were able to fix that. Now Reagan is remembered for all the good, his underlings for all the national security/foreign policy horrors, and socially liberal big city bankers/traders for the economic problems we face.<br /><br />History can repeat on this, and among the elite Bush is being fixed by both sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
