If bashing Bush marked one as a liberal, what would that say about folks around here? The only place I’ve seen MORE Bush-bashing is on DU.
I think few FReepers have called President Bush “evil,” though.
Bush was a big govt spender. Medicare Part D, No Child Left behind.
If you don’t want to recognize his lack of conservative legacy, listen to the Cato Institute.
“Bush doesn’t have a conservative legacy” on the economy, said Dan Mitchell, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. “Tax-rate reductions are the only positive achievement, and those are temporary ... Everything else that has happened has been permanent, and a step toward more statism.” He cited big increases in the federal budget, along with continuing subsidies in agriculture and transportation, new Medicare drug benefits, and increased federal intervention in education and housing.
Bush deserved the bashing. He was/is an extreme left wing liberal Republican that spent taxpayer money and increased the size of government at breath-taking speed. Plus he was a moron.
