George W. Bush succeeded in introducing Medicare Parts "Eff" and "You", allowing private for-profit Big Insurance to stick their snouts deeper into the Medicare Trust Fund, advancing their desire for its total bankruptcy. At our expense, naturally.

Then he tried to privatize Social Security, but his sales pitch was so awful that millions were saved from even more complete ruin once the Great Wall Street Crash/Bailout occurred at the end of his disastrous occupation of that office.

Oh, and he stood on the smoking ruins of 9/11 and told us all to "go shopping".
