Bush was a big spending RINO. He gave us the prescription drug program that represented the biggest expansion of Medicare since it started. It represents a $7.3 trillion unfunded liability. He worked with Ted Kennedy to double the education budget. He supported anmnesty and did next to nothing to stop the flow of illegals into this country who are costing us hundreds of billions of dollars a year. He doubled the national debt from $5 trillion to $10 trillion. He gave us TARP and the buyout of GM and Chrysler.
The only difference between Bush and Obama on the economy is that Bush helped destroy the economy at a slower pace.
