Bush's Legacy: Conservative Failure (2)

On Tuesday I wrote in the first part of this series on George Bush's conservative failure legacy [1] that it all follows from a single utterance, from Ronald Reagan upon his inauguration on January 20, 1981; "Government is not the solution; government is the problem."

Easy to see how the fallacy plays itself out the issues I reviewed earlier this week: rotting infrastructure and E. coli conservatism. It goes, however, much deeper than that: to issues of the soul. That's what I've been writing about here most of all these past twenty months.
