In 2000,
Bush II won the Presidency. He should
have known how dysfunctional his federal agencies were, but he continued to
allow excessive immigration, bad trade agreements, bad executive orders, bad
laws and little reform.
On
9/11/2001, foreign nationals from Saudi Arabia crashed our commercial airliners
into the Twin Towers in NY and the Pentagon; passengers on a third plane forced
it to crash. His reactions to this
terrorist attack eventually resulted in a doubling of our National Debt from $5
trillion to $10 trillion.
Again,
because of dysfunctional financial regulators and poor financial industry
oversight, bad mortgages were allowed to be securitized. The result was the 2008 Meltdown that started
a recession we are still experiencing.
Bush II
didn’t reinstate the Glass Steagall banking law or repeal the Community
Reinvestment Act or HUD antidiscrimination rules that required lenders to make
bad loans. His agencies didn’t catch this until the loans started to go bad. These
mistakes set up the Democrats to elect Obama, who has all but destroyed the US
economy with a National Debt at $19 trillion. Bush II also added to the cost of
government and healthcare pharmaceuticals.
Bush II also didn’t stop UN Agenda 21 implementation approved by Bill Clinton
in 1993. He continued an open borders
policy and excessive immigration. Bush II also failed to stop the off-shoring
of US jobs.
To his
credit, Bush II was no fan of the UN and pretty much ignored it publically. He
was also not a fan of government controlled healthcare or European Socialism.
He was popular with the military, but left the country in a weakened state.
He would
have been better off pursuing the 9/11 terrorists with good intelligence and special
ops and not waged ground wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. He should have shut down visas from the
Middle East and stopped Middle East immigration in 2001. He should have reduced
all immigration below 200,000 per year.
