George W. Bush: A Look Back

Don't look downThis is one of those things where the results are actually more horrifying the deeper into the numbers you look: "Thursday's annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the Bureau's principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the books on the economic record of George W. Bush.... On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush's two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked."

But at least he wasn't a LYING MUSLIM SOCIALIST, am I right, America?

It was also during the Bush years that not easily quantified declines hit America such as the deep decrease of our global reputation, severe loss and compromise of civil liberties and the arrival on the scene of that Freecreditreport.com band...

Tell me about that loss of civil liberties. You used to be able to carry on vodka passing as water in water bottles on planes and now you can't even do that now.

Not everything declined during the Bush administration. My drinking went way up between 2001 and 2008.

Uh, excuse me, Karl Marx, what about the income of the top 1%? That skyrocketed! U.S.A!

Why should I care? I spent the "aughts" flipping houses like every other real American. C.R.E.A.M.!

Apparently the lessons of 9/11 didn't include economics, ethics, science, or basic math.

Really? Somebody was looking at the Riechstag fire of 1933 pretty closely.
