Earlier this week, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake rocked Mexico, with the capital experiencing very serious tremors from an epicenter more than 800 kilometers away.

And when he left office, the US treasury had a major surplus!

That W gave away to the 1%in a massive tax break!

Quite a contrast to Trump, who won't even help PuertoRicans --people who are Anerican citizens

e saw Dubya blow all the gains away, recalling how Republicans howled their lungs out claiming Clinton shouldn't dare give any money to help anyone because of our terrifying "national debt."
