Dear Dry Drunk, Apparently you have forgotten that you were the head of that government.

Bush Institute Launches Book on Economic Growth
By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press
DALLAS July 17, 2012 (AP)
The George W. Bush Institute is launching its first book, which features experts weighing in on ways for the U.S. to jumpstart the economy toward 4 percent gross domestic product growth.

""While the causes of the 2008 crisis will be debated by scholars
for decades to come, we can all agree that excessive risk-taking by
financial institutions, irresponsible decisions by lenders and
borrowers, and market-distorting government policies all played a
role," Bush said in the book’s foreword. "The question now is which
policies we should adopt to fix the problems, speed the recovery, and
lay the foundation for another long, steady expansion."
