(24,461 posts)You could fill a three-volume set on the crimes of the Reagan/Bewsh/Bewsh II admins. But for some reason, Americans give this troika of assholes a free pass. Bewsh II is never mentioned when it comes to discussing economic trace-back with Republicans (some of them dumbfoundingly still bring up the CRA). If it weren't for cooler heads, you'd see that wooden bastard Reagan on monuments, schools, libraries and buildings all over the country rather than just in D.C. (fitting, considering his motto was "Government IS the problem" .
Small wonder why the last Republican to win the presidential election that didn't have a Bewsh or a Nixon on the ticket was Herbert Hoover.
I fear America's coffin is going to get nailed shut if we were ever to get another Republican president who follows the technique of the Troika.
