    The federal response to Hurricane Katrina was at worst a day late and caused no significant harm to anyone in New Orleans.

    It was a pitiful response. I suppose "rape" and "death" in some metaphysical viewpoint could be called "no significant harm."

    No one was raped or died as a result of the federal response. It was hardly the fault of the Bush Admin. for chaos or disorder in the Superdome or convention center.

    Good point.

    Let's change the top marginal tax rate to 65% like Kennedy wanted it.

    I was not referring to 911. I was referring to the denial response of the poster you were responding to.

    Ironic since you are in denial given that the GDP rise was NOT because of the tax cuts and mostly because of the SPENDING that was enacted.

    Good Grief, you have the makings of a fine fiction writer. Such as the author of the Current Trump trashing book, Fire and Fury.

    I won't merely leave you hanging.
    Clinton would have faced head on the dot.com bust. He was lucky he got out. So many firms went broke, it hurt the tax base of America. Bush did not lay off the workers, it was due to Clinton.

    We did win Iraq and we used Afghanistan forces who won Afghanistan. Afghanistan is such a poor country it is hard for them to afford a up to date military. But the Taliban is temporary. Bush never murdered anybody. Our forces worked overtime trying hard not to kill either afthans nor Iraqis. Blame the IEDS for the deaths, not our troops. We never planted IEDS.
    The funds borrowed by the banks was paid back long ago and it profited the USA Government.

    The housing market, my field, was not hurt by Bush. Congress is to blame since Bush informed them that our rule maker, the ones that dictate loans terms, the forms used, the appraisals, all that and more, were going bankrupt. When Fannie Bankrupted, it crashed the market.

    As a lender, let me say now. We did not create the loan terms. We were told by FANNIE mae what they were. What we offered the public, was dictated to us.

    Blame Fannie Mae plus the Democrats in congress who daily said FANNIe Mae was in top shape. It was going down the toilet.

    You really thought he was a conservative? I was like 11 at the time and I could tell he was sort of lukewarm as it were.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina

    Bush jr failed to evacuate the critical counties/parishes that were impacted by Katrina.

    Bush jr's DELAYED response resulted in people dying from thirst, exhaustion and violence.

    YOU BELIEVE ALL KINDS OF UNPROVEN CRAP, (as do PF users Tom Fitz)

    A. OBAMA KILLED OSAMA - no proof
    B. SADDAM HAD WMD - no proof, oil war
    C. IRAQ WAR WAS WORTHWHILE - are you kidding ?
    D. Quaddafi killed his own people - no that was another war for oil !

    E. SYRIA USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS - no another pipeline war

    F. Afghanistan - another gas / oil pipeline war planned before 9/11, Osama not there!



    this is why don't often elect ex-military types for President

    too gullible and believe what their govmnt tells them (brainwashed)

    Kennedy knew lower taxes increased not only tax revenue but also increased GDP. There would come a point where that wouldn't be true and taxes were just too low to provide adequate government funding but we are not there yet.

    Nope!

    You are wrong and have failed to provide a single shred of credible nonpartisan substantiation for your bogus allegations about tax cuts stimulating the economy.

    The left doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between revenue and spending and comprehend that they are two different issues.

    Ironic coming from someone who can't comprehend that tax cuts REDUCE REVENUES and DON'T stimulate the economy.
