      Since you ask us to expalin how the policies of Bush have ruined the economy
      I'll set you some homework.

      What was the cost of the war in Iraq to the US taxpayer?

      Define balance of payments deficit?

      Oh no here's your dad!
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Hmmm, no, it isn’t socialism. Socialism was formulated in the 19th century by Karl Marx, following on from the works of Engels. Way before then, even in the Roman empire, taxes were raised to fund, among other things, public education, healthcare and basic provision of a safety net for the poor along with massive public works to employ those people without the skills to sell their own labour. Redistribution has existed in advanced and primitive societies much longer than anyone's heard of socialism. Socialism is chiefly about something else; the transfer of ownership of the means of production (capital) from the individual to the state as a transitionary stage to transferring ownership and control to small collectives (communism). It’s not IMO a good idea, failed drastically in the Soviet Union and it’s become largely irrelevant in developed societies where the workforce are no longer an uneducated mass, or proletariat, incapable of standing up for their own needs as individuals. Indeed, freelancers could be seen as workers taking the means of production (knowledge) into their own hands and thereby bypassing socialism and communism.

        However, some aspects of earlier political thinking, which were continued and developed by (among others) socialists, such as freely available education and healthcare have played a major contribution in improving the wealth of western nations.

          Bush pushed through tax cuts in 2003, 2005 and 2006 all while expanding the military, the largest single component of the budget. The national debt has increased an average of $1.5 billion per day since the beginning of 2002

            Sadly he's not trolling. He really is that stupid.

              A lot of redistribution going on there. Tax future generations to pay dumb kids who joined the army after they were turned down for a job at McDonalds.
