Libertarians and Neo-liberals, can you explain what was wrong with Bush Jr's Presidency?

Lets leave the Iraq and Afghan wars out of this.

Dude ruined the economy.

So theres that.

I was talking on a pure domestic stand point...dude was terrible at policy.

People were suffering under dude.

Depends how deep you want to go into this. Dude removed tons of regulations, gutted local governments, and overall was one of the most social conservative a$$holes in the modern white house

Why are we setting this up to be a purely domestic conversation? Sound like you're trying to hide something

No, please, lets talk about the removal of regulations. I've never been scared. We can talk about NCLB, Medicare Part D, all of that. No topic should go untouched.

9/11 involvement
Iraq War handling
Katrina botching/patronage of FEMA president revealing itself
Made the U.S. look bad to other nations with our foreign policy blunders


The visible impact that the Project for a New American Century had on strengthening the executive office irreversibly
Reinforcement of the b*stardization of the War Powers Act
Patriot Act

Torture policies

Investing in War infrastructure over public infrastructure/education

Halliburton/KBR wasteful spending in Iraq while on government contracts




Just off the top

he invested billions in NCLB

President Bush pursued a war in Iraq, pushed back against legal abortion, restricted stem cell research, maintained “don’t ask don’t tell,” opposed gay marriage, seemed obsessed with AG subsidies, TARP, auto industry bail outs, torture policies, and the Ptriot Act.

 

[CACtain Planet]

No




Bush's policies allowed him to do that by making them seem normal

That's why I said the PNAC damage was irreversible, the Gov't got that taste of expanded power and aren't giving it back

Obama could of peeled back the Patriot act and War infrastructure if he wanted to
