If Bush is running our economy into the ground why doesn't anyone stop him? Why are some republicans so blind

Question

Even if you like Bush, do you really like seeing our economy going down the drain, what if we go into a depression again? Fine and dandy for the rich but what are the rich gonna do when they have the poor rioting outside in the street? Treat the poor and middle class like dogs?

Answer 1

Worst President of all time. It's a shame, but his advisors are too scared to say anything negative for fear of their jobs. Politics in this country are a joke.

I challenge anyone to take 30 minutes and ponder the goings on in this country over the last 6 years.

Funnier yet, the same people who are griping about everything are the same idiots who re-elected him.

Remember, The Bush's are millionairs. Gas prices have no impact on them. (not that they pay for gas anyway).

I guarantee this Republican will be voting Democrat in the next election regardless of who it is.

Answer 2

You know, I don't agree with everything Bush does, but people don't seem to remember that the president can't really do much without congress. Yes, there are 539 people running this country. I think people just like to point the finger at Bush. It's understandable though. Whenever something goes wrong, it's always the designated leader that must take the fall. I see Bush as a human being just like us, and I think people give him a bad wrap. I wish this country would focus more on how to solve a problem rather than who to blame. Everybody wants to point the finger, yet nothing is getting done. That's my opinion anyway. I think Bush is doing the best he can. I dont think that there is some stupid conspiracy theory. He's just a person too. He's not an evil demon.

Answer 3

Wow, you really should do do some research before you ask a question... The unemployment rate is at one of the lowest ever at 4.6%. Compare that with the UK at 5.4%, France at 10%, Germany at 12.6%. One of the only other countries that comes in close to ours is Japan that actually has a 4.4% rate. Also, interest rates are still low, people are still buying new homes and cars. I am middle class and with the tax cut that I was given, I have noticed more bring home money on my W2's. I was even able to changes jobs recently, to improve myself and family. Our economy is charging ahead at full steam, and we should all get out and grab a piece while we can...

EDIT: I also have found the US's top ten richest politicians. And out of the top ten, ONLY THREE are Republican... (see link below)

Answer 4

yeh.. while he steals our freedoms too.. all republicans are heartless... money is all that matters to them. George Bush could not care less about the American people nor his administration. They only want to line their pockets at our expense. They don't care if they destroy the whole country, long as they are rich enough to go whereever and do whatever they please. I saw G. Bush on Cnn claiming early in his office that he cared about the homeless and needy and would help them.. so... I went to Washington DC to give em some pointers. When I got there, there were people sleeping on the benches and sidewalks all over DC.. even right out in front of the whitehouse was a young homeless couple with 2 small children living on the streets camped outside his front porch.. needless to say.. he did NOT invite them in or come out to offer even a cool drink. And he was there.. i saw him.. and he did see them and just turned his head in disgust. Typical American. Very typical republican.

Makes sense: If you had all the money and all the power, would you want to change the world at all.. not them.. they like it just the way it is.

Answer 5

Congress approves spending on bills. Congress handles the budget. In the American Great Depression everybody got screwed. Money was worthless to have, you couldn't eat it and you couldn't buy food with it. We won't go into another great depression unless the United States gets destroyed and frankly that would create such a global vacuum that the world would go into a depression. The President could veto Congress Spending on bills but 2/3 could over rule the veto. Mad about the economy? be mad at the right things.

Answer 6

i asked the senate the same question and they told me they have everything under control they are helping to expand the gross national product to 27.4 trillion dollars by 2014 this is necessary because of the 8 trillion dollar deficit in order to create the tax base necessary to keep out running the snow ball we have made and don't know how else to tame the monster we call the fed so move over and make room we are going to need many people to come here from other nations to keep up the need for all those jobs that are being created on that unlimited credit card the fed keeps charging on wonder how bad the deficit will be in 2014 if this many people are costing this much now but to answer your question we are already bankrupt they just can't afford to admit it yet and while we still have credit we have no reason to face facts yet oh and as for the rich they have all those foreign investments to rely on and they will just fly off to a safe haven to escape and risk to themselves money and power are like drugs these people are addicted and can't help themselves too bad we can;t send them for substance abuse counseling

Answer 7

Bush isn’t actually running our economy into the ground. Through unjustified wars, tax cuts to the wealthy and leaving America’s poverty stricken families to fend for themselves, he’s boosting the overall economic climate. The question should be, do the means justify the end results?

Answer 8

Should be "has run" or "still running"!

They are blinded by their wealth.

BS. the economy was great under Clinton. This "president" of ours does not care about the real people. Especially the unions. Unions built this country and now many real workers and their families are suffering because of republicans.

DEMOCRATS HAVE TO, NEED TO TAKE OVER!!!

I gripe, and I did not vote for him...EITHER TIME!!

Answer 9

To be honest without you the average American is working their butt off tyring to keep out of debt. So bogged down with mortgaged bills payments that they are blind to the reality of what is happening. This plays into the hands of Bush's buddies big business corporate America who are laughing all the way to their offshore accounts. Ongoing war and ongoing manufacture of arms bombs war planes is beneficial to their business, so they love Bush.

Answer 10

Republicans are afraid of alienating the Radical Right Wing base of the Republican party, who still have Bush high in their approval ratings. This group is the most trustworthy Republican voters, so causing them to stay home on voting day would be suicide.
