The Economy is Crashing Because of Bush

[TeamPlayer]

The economy is crashing because of Bush and his cronies.

Wait until Bush and Israel bomb Iran. It's going to send the world economy into a tailspin and you know what? They could give a damn. Folks...things are going to get ugly before November.

The only silver lining is that Bush being one of the worst presidents in U.S. history is opening the door for Barack Obama to become president.

"The next president will have to deal with yet another crippling legacy of George W. Bush: the economy. A Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz, sees a generation-long struggle to recoup."

[Shark79]

its crashing because US citizens are compulsive buyers ... they need to have the latest gadget available.

[Deuce]

It's crashing because the US dollar is not worth shit. It's crashing because they're too many Heebs pinching and not spending. It's crashing because George Bush does not like black people.

[TeamPlayer]

But ask yourself, why is the dollar not worth shit?

It's not worth shit because

1.) Bush never vetoed any bills including spending bills until he vetoed Stem Cell Research.
This means he has spent more money than any president ever. And that devalues the dollar.

2.) The dollar is also devalued by the government printing and spending of dollars to pay for the unnecessary Iraq war.

3.) The dollar is also devalued by the actions of Bush's government appointees/cronies who kept lowering interest rates and keep telling us that everything is great!

4.) The dollar is further devalued by Bush running up Historically high Government Deficits.

5.) The dollar is futher damaged by Bush picking fights with every oil producing nation in the world. The latest example was Today! Libya says they'll cut oil output because Bush and his cronies keep suing them for the Pan American plane bombing from 20 years ago!

6.) The dollar is futher devalued because everybody is scared that Bush and Israel will bomb Iran and not give a damn about the world economy

7.) The dollar is futher devalued when people realize that the country's bridges and roads are in disrepair and the education system is a mess and the healthcare system is a disaster.

and on and on and on and on

I was considering moving out of the U.S. how's life in CR Sharky??

[TeamPlayer]

gordon gekko,

I already am in the moving stage. If you move abroad, be prepared to apologize to everybody for Bush's actions. Because I promise you that the entire world hates Geroge Bush

[Shark79]

I was considering moving out of the U.S. how's life in CR Sharky??

Its great dude. Honestly.


We get only 2 different seasons during the year (Summer / Rain)

Closest beach from Capital City is about 1.30 mins ... its called JACO.

Real Estate is pretty decent still ... yes it has increased tremendously due to many US/Canadian citizens starting to pack there bags and flying down here ... but u can still buy cheap land.

Crime isnt THAT bad as many say ... if you stay in the upper class side of the country .. youll be fine ... if you go and try to bang a 2 dolla hooka u prob end up in the newspaper ...

I've been here now for 15 yrs and aint complaining.

[Shark79]

One other important thing ... its legal to gamble!! we have some decent casinos and online gambling is safe. We also have locals that take action.

[gordon gekko]

If I considered taking a vacation there were would you recommend staying?

[Shark79]

Marriot ... close to airport

El Rodeo is a nice type of Hostel also close to airport.

Depends on what type of vacation are you looking at ... going to beaches, going to casinos ... drinking till u cant no more ... u know.

Bush ruined this Country, 911 was because of him also.

Lets get in the Dems and pull all support of Israel.

[bettilimbroke999]

Let's blow up the world and everyone in it, every country in the world has terrorists in it and/or is run by leaders that go to war for no reason, Afghanistan/Taliban attacks US for no reason, US attacks Iraq for no reason, every country trying to get ahold of nukes and the biggest nuclear power in the world and only country to ever use nukes, the US, invades them and takes over if they even think about getting them b/c we will takeover the world to protect Israel who owns this country (nevermind the fact we could torch the earth if any1 had the balls to send a nuke our way). I say it's high time to hit the button and call it game over, let's go out with a bang! Send us all to our 400 tight virgins or eternal heaven or w/e the religion you got suckered into believing says happens. It's only way to insure that we kill off all the terrorists, 3....2....1....

[Shark79]

I think its easier if you fart bettilim .. then all hell goes loose.

[bettilimbroke999]

Every country eventually gets nukes we know this for a fact, they all have allies and they all have fortunes to spend to get them, US is trying to stop the inevitable, comes down to if humans really just want to kill each other off for no reason there aint much stopping them now. Russia and US had that option for 40 years and hated each other but were sane enough to not destroy each other. If Iran and Israel want to destroy each other they will, you can't just invade every country on the planet to prevent them from arming themselves with weapons that every country wants to have at least as a threat.

Todd Marinovich Bush

Bush is the equivalence of putting in Todd Marinovich as quarterback in a game where the Raiders were 50 points behind with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter.Marinovich would have fumbled,stumbled and been intercepted numerous times in that 4 minutes.Todd was a daddy coaches junior boy too who wasn't allowed to eat a Bic Mac or a Twinkie throughout life but he was a severe drug addict.

So when a team is behind by 50 points with 4 minutes left in the game,who screwed things up to get the game out of hand like that?As far as presidents go,it was a democrat, Woodrow Wilson that instituted the federal reserve funny money system for starters.Then another socialist democrat FDR gave us the nanny state,socialist slave number insecurity,confiscation of gold,court packing attempts and the new world order.After the people of the USA got a tatse of socialism under these insane clown posse presidents,they looked upon the government as their mommy and daddy and then the problems began.All the rugged individualism and independence were gone from people.People were like horses that were broke and submitted to their master trainer.

So every president since the insane clown posse of Wilson and FDR has given us more and more socialism and more and more of a Keynesian economy.So here we are,a broken socialist nation teetering on the brink of collapse.Good for us,we wanted it that way.We demanded it.

Perfect post. Nice, Brent.

Please, anybody that is planning on leaving the country, do it now. I've been to 70 of them and ours, without exception, is the best place to live. Go to Zimbabwe. Check out Bangladesh. And when you are done whining about how difficult life is there, come back here with your tail in between your legs ...

Or just head up to the socialist medical country of Canada ... hope you like LONG lines ...

[daggerkobe]

Bush is the worst president in US history.

-He ignored all warnings of 9/11, allowing it to happen unabated, so he can use it as an excuse to invade Iraq.

-He bought up all the oil from private refinaries to cause a spike in oil prices back in 2001, which we have yet to recover from.

-Record deficit spending thanks to Iraq and enriching all his cronies like Dick Cheney's Haliburton.

-Responsible for over 10,000 American deaths due to his stupidity.

-2 recessions

-Devaluing of the US Dollar to levels never seen before

-Lowest approval rating in presidential history with 18%

-Helped oil companies make record profits, even surpassing Wal-Mart!!!!!!

-and many many more

Agreed except for one problem. The Democrats are slaves to Israel just as much as the Republicans.

The NY Times reported a month ago that a some congressman attached a bill to the next Iraq Spending Bill which said that President Bush Cannot bomb/start a war with another country unless he gets approval from Congress first.

You know what happened?

Nancy Pelosi said that she took it out of the bill because "the Israelis asked us to."


Folks, up until Bush's invasion of Iraq,
the 2 WORST Foreign Policy Decisions made by the U.S. were:

1.) the Yalta Agreement which gave 50% of Europe to the Soviet regime

2.) the recognition of Israel as a state.

Now you can add #3.) The Invasion of Iraq

[mathdotcom]

TeamPlayer, some of your comments are true about the dollar devaluation, but some are false:

1 and 4 are related. Hes not printing money to pay for the war. The Fed chooses how much money to print and they've kept it fairly constant. You're right about the debt, though.
Comments about Libya and the fact that american roads are in disrepair are dubious at best. And just because he hasn't vetoed many spending bills doesnt mean he's the highest spending Pres, though he may be.

Yes because socialist policies are always good for the economy.

Money just because the Fox news and nitwit neocon radio's of the world have you conned into thinking Chavez is a bad man doesn't always mean it is true. I hate to break it to you but most of the people over there love the guy.

[Thor4140]

Element i was wondering if those socialist policies bothered you when we bailed out the airline industry and Bear Stearns?

They certainly did. Very bad precedents to set.

[TeamPlayer]

Mathdot.com,

1.) Ok, so Bush is paying for the war by borrowing money and thus running up huge government deficits which future generations will have to pay back.

Another consequence of this is that he's borrowing money from the Chinese which means that our own national security is put at risk.

2.) American roads and bridges are indeed in disrepair. This is fact. I don't know what else to say. Contact your local state transportation agency or look for quotes in the newspapers about the condition of the bridges in you state. It's nation wide.

3.) Today, Oil prices surged because Libya announced it will cut back oil production. This is fact in all of the news today. Why does Libya want to stick it to us? Because the Bush administration is so stupid that they will screw all of the american people in order to act tough against Libya and sue them for something that happened 20 years ago! This follows the Bush and Neo-Con mentality of aggressive fascist tendencies at the risk of economic ruin

[element1286]

The energy problem is not a product of George W. Bush alone. What did Bill Clinton do to get us on a track to energy independence. Where was Al Gore, isn't he the big environmental guy. Why doesn't the United States use Nuclear Power? Is drilling in the continental shelf and ANWAR really that big of and Environmental Risk? How could it be good policy to rely on a hostile cartel for such an important resource? These factors were all in effect before George Bush can into office. I am by no means a supporter of George Bush, but there are others factors at work than his policies.

[daggerkobe]

Under Clinton, energy prices were at an all time low (factoring in inflation). It rose only when Bush came in to office and manipulated it by creating artificial shortages by buying up all the oil from private refinaries unnecessarily. This act alone almost doubled the price of barrel of oil overnight.

[TeamPlayer]

Element,

You are correct. However, we get most angry with Bush because he is making everything worse because he is so stupid. No reason to add fuel to the fire but he has doused the fire with fuel because of his:

-invasion of Iraq which has led to the destruction of Iraqi Oil production and is costing us billions of dollars per day.

-spending more money than any president in history and never vetoing any spending bills. ( the only thing he vetoed was Stem Cell Research which we need! But he claims he spoke to God and was told to veto it)

- pressuring Fed Chairman Bernake to keep lowering interest rates.

- now on the course to bombing Iran which will send oil markets bezerk.

-insisting on suing Libya when our economy can't afford the consequences right now of a cut in oil prodcution

- having damaged our relations with our allies so much that it gives our allies more incentive to say "screw you to" when Bush goes begging to them to save the dollar

- and on and on and on

-The invasion of Iraq has not worked out well. Seems to be going better now, but definitely was under bad information or false pretenses.

-I hate government spending, Republicans and Democrats alike need to figure out that government is never the solution to any problems, and it is usually the cause of worse ones.

-They have been cutting interest rates like this for years, I don't think it is a product of the Bush Administration.

-I don't think Bush will bomb Iran, the American people will not stand for it, and something like that could lead to impeachment. Although Isreal might make it all moot and bomb Iran themselves, probably with a United States blessing behind the scenes.

-As far as Lybia, don't really think it is a big deal. The problem is much bigger than some United States/Lybia lawsuit.

-As far as allies, I honestly don't care what they think. People are not going to like us no matter what. And some of the discontent was with previous governments in Germany and France.

Yes because socialist policies are always good for the economy.

That attempt at sarcasm is laughable. Ever heard of a man named Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt? His socialist New Deal policies including the Tennessee Valley Authority and the like helped to pull this country out of a little recession called the Great Depression. It might help to read a history book once in your lifetime...
