Let's put the blame on Al Qaeda for triggering an inernational crisis that the USA was forced to respond to. Should we have folded like Spain? What should we have done to root out Al Qaeda cells that may have already been here, given that the 9/11 terrorists had been here since 1998, getting training from our own flight schools?
the monstrous No Child Left Behind Act that dramatically increased federal intervention in private education.Ted Kennedy was the "bipartisan" co-sponsor of this. Should Kennedy share the blame for this, or was Bush/Rove suckered by a wiley Kennedy into doing something ultimately damaging to the country? If so, then what was Kennedy's motive?
the Prescription Drug Act that gave the American people another benefit-corrupted entitlement and unfunded liability.
This was a politically motivated out-flanking move against the AARP alliance with Democrats during an election year. So what else is new? Can we list past actions in the same vein?
the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, largely due to their failure to reform government-sponsored agencies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.This is the same Fannie and Freddie that Democrats swore were healthy and blocked all attempts at reform?
