More and more, I am inclined to believe the bank bailouts was all a big scam... [View All]

A going-away gift by George W Bush and his anti-government friends.

From the moment he decided to destroy the Clinton surpluses, I have thought that Bush wanted to destroy government by squeezing all of the money out of it.

Not only did he start two wars without paying for them, he gave the wealthy benefactors trillions of dollars in taxcuts. On top of that, he pushed through a Medicare prescription bill of about $600 billion dollars plus. In the end, he had doubled the national debt.

There was little left for any type of government program but George W Bush wanted to put one final nail in the coffin. This was his final attempt to destroy "big government" before he rode off into the sunset.

It was a scam. And Barack Obama and the Democrats bought it. They gave away the store to the big banks and now we are left debating what programs we should cut. They won and we lost. The era of "big government is over. For real. We cannot afford it any longer.
