By the time January of 2009 rolls around (when the next president is inaugurated) George W. Bush will have left a very broken country in the wake of his ideologically reprehensible, morally bankrupt and managerially challenged administration.
The debt and deficit will have America teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
The unwinnable foreign wars and unendable "war on terrorism" will have done nothing to make Americans safer but will have contributed a lot towards the reasons the rest of the world has for hating the US along with helping to balloon the deficit and once again impairing the confidence of the US servicemen.
The complete failure to address pollution and global warming will leave have left the nation and the world facing an uncertain future and growing dangers and costs associated with climate change.
The continuation of the fruitless "war on drugs" will have again failed to address the problems of criminal drug trafficking.
What can be done to recover?

Doubt there is too much that can be done. Americans don't seem to care about anything, and even if something could be done, they would refuse to do it. That is the reason Bush is in office in the first place. People want to divert their attention so they dont have to worry about finding any real solutions, and he is very good at distracting people and diverting their attention.
Anyway, the problems that have been created in the last six years are so great that we have not only not made any tangible progress, but our issues have have destroyed our economy, our unified national spirit, our international relations, and increased problems domestically with education, poverty, crime, and other issues.
If you really want to try to fix it, make people care about real problems, rather than "threats" from weak foreign dictators and "moral" issues. But I am pretty sure by this point that is impossible. Not to be a downer, but I think the time for solving those problems has come and gone.

I hope you realize that if you end deficit spending completely, you end the market for treasurys- a market many pension plans (and the jobs they create) depend on. As for your interpretation of the Bush administration, I recall the same questions being asked when the economy began to TANK under Clinton, and we have somewhat recovered from that. So to answer your question- what can be done? The same thing we have been doing, letting businesses create jobs through proper taxes and incentives and educating the youth in science and math- not diversity.

i really opt to have something good to assert. I voted for the guy because i could not vote for Kerry, yet I by no skill sense constructive anymore about any presidential applicants. He offered our ports to China and that i visit't verify out the constructive there. i imagine he meant properly without newborn left behind and that i'm constructive it wasn't his theory, yet that doesn't look operating, definite the tax ingredient is sweet, inspite of the undeniable fact that it in uncomplicated words helps a symptom, no longer the project. He has made me snigger on numerous activities. i wager thats good, for a lovable uncle type. Sorry, I do hate partial beginning abortion, its so tousled i visit't even fathom the way it exists, yet George merely sounds like he hangs out and does what he's advised now. I loved in his first time period how he were given an rather good type of recent jobs going!!

The first thing we can do is this November by electing a Democratic Congress. Then, in 2008, we can elect a Democratic President who will be able to work with the Democratic Congress. It won't be something that will happen overnight - it will take years, but the first step will be in sweeping the Republicans out with the trash where they belong and installing some forward-thinking progressive Democrats who care more about the country than they do their rich friends and themselves.

I'm still trying to figure out how we'll recover from the Reagan years!
He is forcing me to retire at age 67 or possibly 72!
That was Reagan's legacy!
He also let 12 million Illegal immigrants into the country on a one time deal and NOW they want to do it again!

One way to recover is put a democrat in office to remind everyone that its wasn't as bad as the media and the left wing made it out to be during the good ole Bush years.

We can all hope that there will be a revolution, and the republican party will be wiped out.
But then it would be replaced by a similar party, but at least they would have the shame of having to change their party name.
