Most if not all of the TARP money went to political cronies of both parties, let’s not forget Bush doubled the size of government and his drug benefit for seniors was the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the planet.
Obama and Bush, both socialist scumbags.
“his drug benefit for seniors was the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the planet”
I didn’t agree with the prescription drug program, at all.
But you had to admire Bush’s political knowledge, and the ability to defuse the Democrats yearly “Big Hammer” and make it his own, while making it MUCH smaller than the Democrats intended. And god, how the Dems and the media hated him for that.
Have you forgotten that Ted Kennedy’s “Free Prescriptions!!!” was the Dems mantra for the 2004 elections, and was supposed to propel John Kerry to the Presidency?
That the Dems spent MILLIONS promoting it, that TV shows ran tear-jerker episodes about how seniors were dying because they couldn’t afford drugs, Hollywood types on Oprah saying what a catastrophe it was, yada, yada?
And how that anyone who dared stand against this, or John Kerry, was a hater that wanted Seniors to die, while the media gleefully clapped like a seal in praise?
