G. W. Bush: "I Wish They Weren't Called the 'Bush' Tax Cuts"

I am far from excusing Bush, but your post is the liberal laundry list. I believe a Dodd-Frank bill set up the mortgage debacle, accumulated debt is inexcusable for both Bush AND Obama. And "unprovoked" is your opinion. 9-11 was planned by a guy in Afganistan. Iraq, while an unflushed toilet, wasn't heeding UN resolutions. If there isn't anyone with a big stick behind the UN, what's is use? And, I'll argue the income gap has widened over the past 3 years. We've lost the dream of the Constitution signers. Perhaps a roll-back of legislation might be the answer. And as for history, my children aren't taught it in school these days. Liberal educators are trying to edit history - just as POTUS and FLOTUS want.

In his post-presidential years, George W. Bush has generally avoided getting involved in the daily political scene, instead focusing on private and philanthropic endeavors from his home base in Texas. Today, however, President Bush delivered one of his rare public policy speeches at the George W. Bush Presidential Center's conference on "Tax Policies for 4 Percent Growth" in New York City. Besides a bit of self-deprecating humor and personal reminiscing on the privilege of being commander-in-chief, the former president also offered up some wise words on the current "fairness"/"tax the rich" policy debate.
