Default The Legacy of a President

The greatest deficit in the history of the United States: In 2004, more than $500 billion and deficits of at least $400 over the next 10 years turning a $5.6 trillion projected surplus into a $5.6 trillion projected deficit.

Raiding the entire Social Security fund 3 million more people without healthcare.

40 million Americans total.

1.6 million jobs lost. The most jobs lost since the Great Depression.

Ineffective economic policies based only in giving tax cuts for the rich. 70% of tax cuts going to the wealthiest 20% by 2003. 51% of tax cuts going to the wealthiest 1% by 2010.

30 years of environmental policies destroyed.

Allowing corporations to exploit the American people.

The approval and use of offshore tax shelters robbing the United States of $10 billion a year.

Education initiatives underfunded by $9 billion.

A right-wing "Christian" agenda affecting women's rights, gay rights, freedom of speech, stem cell research, and privacy.

A war started over weapons of mass destruction, which were never found because they never existed.

A lack of planning in the Iraqi occupation that has lead to the deaths of hundreds of troops and thousands of Iraqis.

And the alienation of the international community.

Default yeah....

.... funny how some people are still clinging to the belief that Bush is the "gratest President ever". Yeah, no kidding - there are still people like that. Amazing.
