Crack heads

According to this story from the LA Times, 75% of people surveyed believe that President Bush is responsible for our sagging economy. That means that 25% of you are still living in some delusional wonderland. Let's see how do you wreck an entire economy in just 8 years? Here's a few ways.

  1. Ignore months of intelligence that terrorists are planning attacks that will throw your financial markets into chaos and kill hundreds of people integral to our global economy.
  2. Turn your country into a Police State making it much more difficult for international business to be conducted. Thanks Patriot Act.
  3. Invade other countries against the will of the majority of the international community... that will foster good will and drum up business.
  4. By doing number 3 you really piss of the people that provide us with the most necessary thing to our economy, oil. That's turned out to be a great idea.
  5. In order to accomplish number 3 you need to find some cash from somewhere. It used to be you'd increase taxes to get that money but that was not an option for Bush since he was too busy cutting taxes to distract everyone from number 3. So you borrow the money from other governments, as much as $1.5 trillion dollars. That's why the Dollar is in the shitter, because we've diluted our currency by that much in just eight years.
  6. Turn number 3 into a three ring circus of inept decisions.
