Jeb Bush: As president, I'll end crony capitalism

Washington Examiner ^ | 10/19/15 | GOV. JEB BUSH

[jimbo123]

-snip- As president of the United States, I will use all the powers of my office to disrupt the political culture of a dysfunctional Washington, D.C. We need to clean house and it must start by eliminating the crony capitalism that is pervasive throughout the federal government. There are tens of billions of dollars of corporate welfare subsidies tucked into the federal budget.

-snip-

The influence peddling industry in Washington will fight every step of the way to defend their fiefdoms and special favors. It is going to take a president with a stiff spine and a proven record of delivering conservative reforms to disrupt the old, established order.

I intend to be that president.

Is Jeb going into comedy?

[Servant of the Cross]

Another ‘Tin Ear’ award for ‘Jeb?’ ping ...

[Westbrook]

Is he gonna take a knife to his own throat?

Not hardly.

[grumpygresh]

That’s hilarious!

The only thing that Bush can end is his own party.

[jospehm20]

I wonder what Jeb’s CoC donors think of that?

[Mr. K]

um.... sure

He is just revealing to us this info NOW??

Tell us WHICH 10’s of billions ok? Or is he just pulling it out of his ...?

[ecomcon]

Yeah, he’s going for full on fascism, the real thing, baby!

[GregoTX]

Since you won’t be president Yeb... I guess we will never know.

[Joe Boucher]

LIAR

[Calpublican]

How you going to do that? 24/7 surveillance of legislators?

[RginTN]

What a liar!

[Red Badger]

ROFLMAO!.........................

Since Lehman Brothers no longer exists - does this mean Jeb will donate the $1.3 million he got from them to a charity like the Salvation Army?

[JayAr36]

Somebody ask Jeb who is it that is paying to put him in office and what will be exacted for that payment?

[Sooth2222]

Also, everyone will receive a magic unicorn that poops rainbow ice cream!

(Like two Clintons, two Bushes was more than enough!)

[Salvavida]

....said the crony capitalist.

[Nervous Tick]

>> I intend to be that president.

I can see Yeb as El Presidente of his local chamber of commerce or board of realtors, but that’s about it.

[Teacher317]

Jeb, you did nothing about corrupt government practices when you were FL GOV, so there’s no reason to believe that now. You’re simply desperate to pull your polling numbers above 4 percent with this nonsense. Nice try, but GOP voters aren’t quite as dumb as Dem voters... almost, but not as quite.

[anoldafvet]

He’s the poster boy for crony capitalism.
