To be fair, I started a thread on how ignorant Bush is the economy, Social Security in particular, last week.

Threads complaining about how Bush is running us into massive deficits that our grandchildren will be cursing us for fall on deaf ears when we try to bring it up.
The excuses range from: 'It's Clinton's fault', 'It's our money anyway why should we be concerned with paying down a deficit', to 'it's war time, Bush needs money to fight it'.

Anyone else notice how Bin Laden's last rant to the world has him claiming to have personally toppled the Soviet Union, forcing them into a prolonged fight that eventually bankrupted them? Laughable, but then he claims he will do it to us, and it does look like Bush is trying to help him out with that prediction. He gets a good jab in, making fun of our 450+ budget deficit this year. We can expect higher for 2005, I'd wager.

Maybe Bush is a good thing for America. Hoover turned america away from the Republicans for a generation because of the positive economic growth and the institution of liberal social programs of Franklin Delano Roosevelt which made us all feel safe.

Bush is fully following in Hoover's footsteps (helped greatly by the bedrock of federal deficit that Reagan bequeathed to us all). Another 4 year stint of Bushness as usual, plus a strong Democratic President for the next term could see america make that shift back for another generation.
I could see Obama being the 21st centuries FDR.
