“And Bush pushed them to 54% and never lifted a finger till it was too late.”
Actually Bush did lift a finger. He appointed the Chairman of Goldman Sachs, and head of the Wall Street “too big to fail” banking cartel, Henry Paulson, to be Secretary of the Treasury. Then when the financial crisis hit, instead of taking charge, he abdicated to Henry Paulson, Ben Bernancke, and Timothy Geithner. The three banking stooges immediately raided the treasury giving billion in bailout money, printed by the Federal Reserve out of thin air, to the big foreign and domestic banks while leaving the taxpayer holding the bag. They then insisted Bush and Congress pass TARP which consisted of nearly a trillion dollar bailout of the banking system. Then Bush decided to us TARP money to bail out GM and Chrysler, even though the legislation did not provide for such a bailout.
Bush lifted a finger once - to put the fox in charge of the hen house. Then when the chickens started squawking, he turned his back and walked away.
Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family the inside story of an American dynasty
This expose made me madder than hell because I fell for lies and believed the Bush's were genuine patriotic heros. Man, was I ever wrong.
