Dr. Hanson is wrong when he says “Bush at least gave us tax cuts — but a large deficit. “
The deficits ballooned after 9/11 to protect the nation. In FY2007, the deficit was down to $250 billion and on a clear multi-year trajectory toward a balanced budget. The Democrat engineered train wreck of the economy (by forcing banks to abandon lending standards so the poorest of the poor could own a home with an ARM) is what destroyed the financial system and led us to the current mess including the $2 TRILLION deficit, 8 times larger than Bush’s last full year in office.
I like Dr. Hanson a lot, but at times his Democrat background continues to seep through his otherwise impeccable logic.
How did "no child left behind" and medicare drug programs protect the nation. The facts are Bush and his Republican Congress were big spenders.
