Bush has done many things. here are a few of them:

Cut Taxes
Granted Most favored nation trading to China
Increased the demands on our military
Helped pass the Prescription Drug Plan
Started a war

Cutting taxes helps most Americans as most Americans received more money back.

It is that tax cut that paid for the extra developer which made JoeUser possible and hence your constant Butch bitching on-line possible...

When the Fed cuts $1 in Federal Income taxes there must be growth of $4 in new taxable income to break even from the tax cut. That is not the result of the Bush tax cuts. The cuts to the middle income has helped grow the economy because they spend most or all of their tax cut. That is not true of the cuts to the top 5%. Thus, the tax cuts to the middle income did help but not those for the wealthy. CBO said, $270 Billion of the deficit last year was due to the Bush tax cuts. We are borrowing money and paying interest on that borrowed money to give tax cuts to the wealthy.

Great economics!

George Bush has done no better, nor no worse, than any President before him. The only difference is, is that he is challenged by an even more aggressive world than twenty or forty years ago. It seems that, as more and more nations find themselves ungovernable, the US president finds more is demanded from his role. I hope he tells Syria to get the hell out of Lebanon pronto or he'll kick ass! Who else will do it?

Give me a link that shows that the CBO said $270 billion of last year's deficit was from the tax cut.  I find that pretty unlikely.

Moreover, as you regularly point out, the deficit was >$270 billion.

If you're so worried about the deficit, you should advocate a spending freeze. I suspect I pay more in taxes in one year than you've paid throughout your life. I'm paying my share, thank you. Feel free to pitch in more.

I will try and locate that reference. How would you have a spending freeze and maintain the Army or for that matter anything else since inflation can not be stopped? There are things like $25-30 billion in pork that could be eliminated and restore the tax rates to the top two income breckets to pre 2001 levels. Close the corporate loop holes and I bet we would be a lot closer to a balanced budget. You are correct, the deficit is a lot more then $270 Billion and that is why closing loop holes and cutting some spending programs are a must. But cuts and closing loop holes will not produce $670 Billion per year. It will require more Federal Income.

I am still looking. In the mean time look at www.bushtax.com/

also www.ctj.org/htm/gwb0602.htm

There is some much data that shows who is getting what from the Bush tax cuts. Most of it goes to the top 5%.

Show me a president that got elected by offering less. People want spendy officials. It has a pseudo romantic feel good quality to it.

This dipshit has:
-isolated the muslim community by demonizing islam through demogaugery.
-Flushed 50 years of international talks down the toilet by reinventing torture via one Alberto Gonzales, and limited the application of the geneva conventions through a non combantant clause.
-Has copied the dems by spending social security on the needs of the day. Woohoo until collection time comes!
-Has grabbed unconstitutional power via document hr 3162 otherwise known as patriot act 2.
-Has manipulated the stock market, the commodities markets and debased the dollar with the plunge protection team.
-Has made a life approach to answering all disputes with hard interventionism.
-Has the right to seize any person anywhere in the world and expropriate them to whenever they want without reason or trial.
-Has circumvented congress by growing the pentagon and therefore only answerable to the president. Not that the CIA record was stellar but at least they had to report to someone.
-Has deconstructed the policitical structure around him by either agreeing with him or getting a pink slip. Come to think of it apply that to the military under Wolfewitz/Kristol/Rumsfeld as well.
-And yes he has given one time tax cuts that have further indebted the nation. Sustainable - no.

The entire military complex with domestic law have changed more in the last 5 years than in the last 50. This list is only from 2001 on and off the top of my head. Give me time and the red ink will fly.

It's called deal with it! He's in office until 2008 and *nothing you or your loopy lobotomized leftists can say or do is going to accomplish one damn thing.

Slanderer, the question is "What has Bush done that has helped us?"

This dipshit has: ..........


A person of like mind. This is great! I use the word "dipshit" all the time to describe that scumsucking sack of garbage. Fact is, he's done nothing meaningful. Absolutely nothing helpful. Some will say the tax cuts were beneficial, but really, who have they helped? Maybe put a bit more jingle into most peoples' pockets for a day or two, but the cost to our society has been huge. Our children and grandchildren will be paying for that poor excuse for a tax break for years to come. Except of course, the wealthiest in our society. If it was up to the dipshit, he'd make sure their kids do not shoulder the future debt at all.

I cannot understand how a taxcut, be it in wartime or not, that has sunk this country into the deepest deficits in history can be considered a good thing. Spin, is all. Now, to defray those taxcuts, they're looking to cut the spending that would benefit the most fragile aspects of our society, the poorest, sickest and uneducated. They're looking to deregulate industries that will save bucks for the feds, but cost the environment big time, in industrial pollution, inappropriate logging, etc.

I really hate our f*cking dipshit president and all his bosses. History will not treat any of them kindly.

I take it you can not come up with ANY accomplishments that "HELPS US" ?

Of course the top 5% get most of the tax cuts. We're paying almost all the taxes for crying out loud. You can't give money back to people who aren't paying in.  Your other link was a 404 and I am still waiting for your CBO link that says $270 billion last year of the deficit was due to the tax cuts -- I find that very unlikely.

Wow, one left wing extremist can't think of anything that Bush has done to help people to explain to another left-wing extremist. What a shock.

I noticed you ignored what I had written -- that the only reason you can sit on this site and bitch about Bush is because the tax cut provided the additional capital needed to hire an additional software developer who in turn was assigned to create this site.
