Debt And Phony Religion Hallmarks Of Bush Administration Run Wild

By Bill Gallagher

DETROIT -- Four years of selected rule and now 100 days into his first elected term in office, George W. Bush has created so much madness it will take decades to undo and whoever succeeds him in the Oval Office will face an unimaginable mess. President 44 already is politically doomed. He will inherit a nation seriously wounded.

It's hard to recall a president who's achieved so little with so little and done so much harm. His hallmark domestic and foreign policies are cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and wage a wild, messianic war in the Middle East to impose democracy and nation-build. The results on both fronts are disastrous.

The tax cuts have created debilitating debt and fiscal insanity. Our first president with an M.B.A. should be an embarrassment to the people at Harvard who let this child of affirmative family influence gets a degree. His administration will become a case study in how to squander a surplus, borrow recklessly, destroy jobs and provide a limping economy in the process.
