.............If someone pulled you out of a burning house and it took a lot of time & money to rebuild, would you blame the person who rescued you or the arsonist?
A Democrat would blame the person who rescued them; and, anyone else would blame the arsonist.
The social welfare entitlement policies are what has been the downfall of this country.
I'm glad you mentioned this, since Bush and the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act introduced Medicare Advantage (also called part C) & the Prescription Drug Plan (part D) which is costing taxpayers billions more than Original Medicare. It paid billions in administration fees to private companies. The retail prices for some of the most popular brand name drugs sold to people over 65 increased 41.5% over the last five years, while the consumer price index rose only 13.3%.
Bush also asked for $440 billion for minority homeowners who couldn't afford to buy a house.

Also, listen to Bush here. "This will take taxpayer money..." "What I propose is a tax credit where housing is scarce." "There's too much fine print....let's make the rules simpler and the closing much less complicated."
He is telling taxpayers that our money should go to those who can't afford to buy a home. He is telling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to extend credit to people with bad credit! Exact quote from speech..."We are talking about empowering people..."

Yes, that's exactly what I say every night before bed. "Please God, give some common sense to the voters this November."
The Republicans only want 2 classes. The wealthy and those who serve them.
The problem: Liberals promoting the Politics of Envy, social engineering, political correctness, Big Government, entitlements, and wealth redistributin.
The solution: Don't be a Jackass. Vote Republican---The Party of Know.

Bush was a RINO, I agree. I dare you to find a post where I've said otherwise. Yet, the Medicare drug act will pale in comparison to Obamacare costs.
Additionally, GW Bush was continuing Bill Clinton's housing and credit policies when it came to home ownership. Later Bush tried to reform Freddie/Fannie but the Democrats controlling Congress would not allow it. That is an important part you have conveniently left out.
Plain and simply fact is that not everyone is cut out to be a homeowner; thus the rental market. And, if government would take real actions to reduce the cost of delivery of Medical care, instead of what Bush did with drugs for Medicare or what Obama is doing to the entire nation under Obamacare, we woud have at least one significant portion of our debt out of control and on its way to reversing itself. Neither party has yet accomplished it, nor do they intend to. It is all about corntrol which is exactly why all the progressives, Democrat and RINOs alike, need to be voted out of office.

Trust me, I stopped believing in Utopia back in high school. When it comes to giving away taxpayer money to make everything fair & equal, I'm dead set against it.
However, I've never once heard President Obama tell people to be lazy and let the government take care of them. Have you? He always encourages people to go to school, get a good education and work hard to achieve their goals. I voted for Obama because I believe that we all deserve a chance in life no matter where we were born or what the color of our skin is, and that good medical care shouldn't be available to a select group. I worked my entire life and had insurance. When I had an accident this year, I was treated like a subhuman because I no longer qualify for comprehensive coverage due to no fault of my own. Until it happens to you, you probably won't/can't possibly understand what that feels like.
what are you talking about? Do you realize how unbalanced both houses aee right now? Any bill, that would help the country can get passed without a single Republican vote..Voting agaist these so called bills that will help the country will not make anyone fail.

Wrong. Just factually incorrect. With the filibuster, which Republicans now literally use on EVERY bill, you need 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate.

Bush managed to pass every bill that he wanted with much less of a majority in both houses. And, they were ALL bi-partisan.
That's the difference between what's doing right and wanting to "fundamentally change America".
