You Can Have Your Scandals, I Want My Money Back

Say what you will about scandals and Presidents: Nixon had Watergate, Carter had hostages in Iran, Reagan had Iran-Contra, Bush 41 had the S&L crisis, Clinton had Monica Lewinsky. They were men of weakness.

What effect did those scandals have on your life savings?

Now we have the mother of all scandals. George W. Bush defies just one scandal, he administration ideology embodies the entire meaning. His life is one big scandal. He is so good at what he does, that, regardless of your political affiliation, he has crushed your life savings, single-minded-ly and with extreme success. Don't mess with a man's money? Bush took that next level, that's the big difference here.

Through his monetary policy, his horrendous spend and borrow tactics and subsequent bailouts of entire industries, he will weaken whatever dollars you even have left.

Bush was in charge with our economy and crushed it. He softened oversight and let Wall St. crush itself. He started a war and cut taxes. He pushed ownership and increased our need to borrow. He attacked countries and crushed their economies. His policies effected gas prices which effected real prices of goods around the globe.

All around the world, Bush has taken what people had and halved it.

Yes, Presidents are capable of weak moments. But George Bush is the first President in a long time to take your money as he is committing his scandals.
