Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of 'Li'l George'. He's cut Veterans benefits, started a war he then couldn't win (although i am still glad he started it, it had to be done), angered nations which used to be our friends, stripped us of several key liberties, helped Big Oil, Big Insurance, and Big Drugs to rape the American people, provided zero relief for an energy crisis, refused to close a porous border despite his own terrorism warnings, and allowed our economy to stall. I just don't think he's gotten as bad as Carter yet. Key word here is, yet.

Give the man time. I fear he will catch up to Jimmy Earl soon enough.

Oh, and I agree with your warning. That's why I am armed.

And yes I agree with you that he is a puppet... he sings the songs without understanding them...

I believe America will rebound back to these economic problems

George Bush has in effect destroyed the golden run that USA has had ever since WW2.

On Sept 11 most of the outside world felt great sympathy for Americans. Bush with his foreign policy has managed to squander even this. The outside world now has a very negative impression of the United States as a bully on the world stage.

With the ever deepening sub prime mortgage crises, USA is headed for a huge depression and USA will never be as rich and powerful again. Bush cannot stand back and say the White House had no role in this collapse.

What has been permitted is in effect banking corruption.

Banks are the only agencies allowed to create credit. The US Government sets Treasury policy. Bush allowed runaway creation of bank credit.

Banks are allowed to create credit only up to a percentage of funds held. In my country that percentage varies, but hovers around 15% of funds loaned out.

What the banks have done is parcel up bad debts and sell those debts/mortgages to other financial institutions as securities (when in fact they were liabilities)

What this did was twofold.:

(1) It cleared the business (credit) off their books and allowed them to create even more credit all over again.

(2) profits from the bundling up of securities created new equity for new credit creation.

What has happened in the States is that banks have been allowed to roll over debt so much that the actual equity backing for funds loaned out may be as low as 2%

Now add on to that a President who has spent 4 trillion dollars on a war in Iraq which just gets ever bigger and no wonder USA's economy is dropping like a lead brick.

Bush has squandered all of America's wealth on the streets of Baghdad. Still Bush's mates at Haliburton aren't complaining.

I was thinking more along the lines of actual performance, for instance, I have not gone hungry since Bush took over. Can't say the same for Carter.

But if you want to go on terms of intent, then, yeah, Bush is definitely number one.

This is starting to get funny. You're telling me how bad Bush is, I'm telling you how bad Bush is, and we're arguing about it?

I'm on your side where Bush is concerned. He's definitely on the top ten. I just think Carter was a bit worse so far. I went without food under Carter, and it doesn't matter who was at fault for what happened. The President is responsible. It's in his job description.

And the post above makes another good point. We've had some doosies in the past, long before the memory of anyone here. Grant... oh, boy, the complete destruction of the economic resources of several states, political scars that last to this day... heck, I'd say he beats Carter hands down!
