I am curious if there is someone keeping a running tally of all the misery and problems, deaths and destruction and lost opportunities of the Bush disaster? If not, somehow there needs to be a scorecard that puts the disaster he caused into real tangible numbers. This may be a good project for some group. It would also be nice to make sure that as the country and the world descends to the bottom that he and his admin get the credit due so the reich wing cannot hijack the debate with a meme that after 1/20/2009 it was all Obama's fault. What sort of things should be tracked? how about: - deaths due illegal wars - disabilities and maimings due to illegal wars - Military suicides - divorces among military attributable to Bushco policies - deaths due to lack of health insurance - debt of students attending colleges or those who have attended colleges - ecological damage in dollars and acreage. - cost of not turning to alternative energies to the economy and ecology - loss of small businesses due to policies favoring large corporations - extra costs to repair infra-structure due to lack of maintenance - families split apart and suicides due to Bushco economic policies.
I am sure there could be consolidating and probably some more categories. The point is we really need some actual numbers that put the Bushco disaster into perspective. Thoughts? edit to add - I totally forgot jobs sent to other countries and the stagnation of wages. Oy vey - so much that he did!
