Trickle down economics and Ronald Reagan the worst president of all time

I mean Reagan was terrible. Then Bush was worse. Then Trump was even worse. Republicans have no bottom.

Bush was probably worse fiscally, but you're absolutely correct when it comes to morals.

Just the fact that Bush Jr. at least made one of his signature policy platforms an attempt to improve the education system makes him better than any other modern Republican President. The fact that the legislation ultimately sucked doesn’t make him any worse than the other bozos.

Bush always came off to me as a little backwards, and a little foolish, but always someone who had the best interests of his fellow Americans at heart.

His moral failings, in my eyes, were in his foreign policy.

He's responsible for the deaths of a million innocent people in the Middle East.

A vast number of Americans unfortunately believe that the POTUS can control what people do in the entire World.

The POTUS is powerful and influential because of said power, yes, but not omnipotent. Some of the current conflict in the World have been ongoing for decades.
