When the going gets tough, our leaders look for someone else to blame. Someone else caused the problem.
For the first 5 years of his administration, President Obama beat on the Bush legacy.
It was Bush who caused the depression of 07.
It wasBush who caused the housing crash,
It was Bush who caused the great Wall Street collapse of 2011-2013.
Bush created Fannie & Freddie mortgage abuse.
It was Bush who squandered $ trillions to stimulate the economy, pushing us into an unfunded debt position approaching $100 trillion and counting.
When the American people finally got tired of the “demon” Bush legacy, the Progressives followed the tried and true path laid out by their Icon ,FDR, and pushed the foolish, but widely accepted, notion that a good expensive war is a savior for the economy.
“After all, war pulled the United States out of the last Depression, becomes the mantra of a government with little will for hard economic choices.
The alternative of a greater war to rescue the economy of the Nation is a grim solution which many find unavoidable.
The parameters of an exploding World War III have been fermenting for hundreds of years.
The West has been under increasing attack during the past century, with the conflict becoming up close and personal on 9/11/2001.
While the Progressives have developed an entendre with redical Islam, the opportunity to turn this errupting crisis into an opportunity for political and economic gain is embraced.
Europe becomes the initial battleground for this conflict, but the soft Muslim underbelly of the Continent makes Europe a hellish place for several decares.
Terror , reprisals, and retalliations destroy the economies of many countries, and leaves their populations bitter and suspicious.
North America will become a locked down fortres, resulting in the stifling of much of our freedoms both civil and economic.
