But, apparently, that was okay with you.”

a/Bush didn’t make anything worse for “the neediest” the FAILED FEDERAL PROGRAMS DID.

bBush was in office for EIGHT YEARS. Maybe your lousy reading skills are a reflection of your poor voting decision supporting Øgabe, BUT THIS ESSAY REFLECTS ON HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

b/ When Bush (forced by a Dem congress) overspent on useless programs, CONSERVATIVES FOUGHT HIM, and democrats like you SUPPORTED THE SPENDING.

Do I need to spell out ENRON (and the many others)?
Also when the only accountability is to shareholders who expect to make more money every year, a lot of good things are lost (like ethics, moral responsibility). I’ve often wondered why a company and it’s shareholders can’t decide – “Hey! Let’s be satisfied earning the same amount we did last year instead of firing 100 people?”
But I’ve never heard of that.

TJ, I would have had a lot more respect for you if you had written this article during the Bush administration – leaving out the HC part obviously because the rest of it applied in spades to that A-hole. But, obviously that would not have fit with your agenda of damaging Obama.

But it was Bush and his cronies who made social security, medicare, education, etc WORSE for the neediest. But, apparently, that was okay with you.

This Government needs to be run like a business where they are accountable to the shareholders.
