“Keeping the nation safe after attacks”
An attack that Dubya opened the door for by outlawing the profiling of airline passengers that even Clinton permitted. But at least Senator Spencer Abraham and his Arab lobby got their wish, American safety be damned.
“Removing Saddam”
Because Saddam, who failed to even defeat his next door neighbor Iran, somehow posed an existential threat to the United States. Trump of course strongly disagrees with Dubya’s Iraq War.
“Reducing the deficit.”
Fiscal years don’t align with calendar years. Bush’s fiscal years are 2002-2009. Deficit in FY 2002 = $158 billion. Deficit in FY 2009 = $1,413 billion. I’m pretty sure that’s an increase.
“Growing govt less than govt revenue”
If that was the case then there would have been no need to increase the national debt over his term. Tax revenues would have increased more than spending. In the real world Treasury debt rose from 6.2 Trillion to 11.9 Trillion from FY 2002 - FY 2009. That’s 5.7 Trillion dollars in excess of tax revenue.
“Forming a powerful alliance with India”
Really? And what has that “powerful alliance with India” been, other than increasing American unemployment by flooding the country with H1-B visas?
Multiple attack were stopped.
Only the Great Recession created by Democrats and bush reactionaries prevented the deficit from reaching zero in 2009
India is our key counterbalance to China
Saddam launched the first WTC attack in the 1990s. He also killed American soldiers
