Bush appointed more open homosexuals to his administration than all presidents before him, including Clinton. The VA started all this diversity nonsense under Bush, not Obama. Never forgot that. He also slashed funds to the VA to pay for his boneheaded war in Iraq. When he took office co-pays for non SC vets were $3. $8 when he left. VAs all over the country has to curtail their services because they had no money. Non-SC vets for a few years could not be seen in the VA. Only non-SC vets that could be seen were the ones already in the system that had been grandfathered in. I could go on and on. Bush was a disaster of a president, from his boneheaded war to his never vetoing speeding bills, to his slashing programs for veterans. There’s a reason veterans support Trump in South Carolina and I just layed out a few of them.
Now that you mention it, it does seem like veteran's programs were just about the only case where Bush favored cuts to Federal spending. Everything else was even more of a free for all than under Clinton. In other words, free healthcare and bilingual "education" for illegals: Si, healthcare and education for those who served in his wars: No.

Jebbie thought that having W. campaign for him in SC would be his ace in the hole. It didn't really work out that way, did it?
