Dubya's presidency started with 9/11 and will finish with a financial 9/11.Those are some nice bookends for his legacy. It would have been fitting for him to give his bailout speech the other night through his trusty bullhorn.

700,000,000,000.00 is one big friggin' number!

I think you are right;

Goal #1; Ruin american Economy.
Goal #2; Ruin american Foriegn Policy
Goal #3; Finish off the Republican Party for a generation

He did achieve all his goals.

There was only one goal: to enrich his "base"

We'll see if the GOP is finished for a generation, though it won't matter, because it will take a generation to even begin to get the booty back.

"700,000,000,000.00 is one big friggin' number!"


2333 for every man, woman and child.
a bit over 6000 per household
roughly 10 percent of the average household income
Or if you were buying a car they would say for a ten year loan 48 bucks a month
or just 160 pennies a day.
