I don't think we're on a path of unavoidable destruction, either. However, I think his initial tax cuts (creating a huge deficit from a surplus) were a big mistake, and have had longterm effects on the economy.

This country isn't to the point of no return, it is not on a path of destruction and will not be.

Unjustly stealing the 2000 election is where he started, and it was all downhill from there.

When he chose to link 9/11 with Saddam Hussein, and leave Osama bin Laden alone.
Leaving the job in Afghanistan half done. Then spending money like a drunken democrat to tilt at windmills in Iraq.

It wasn't a mistake. It was a chosen attitude. Best exemplified when he complained about 'that goddamned Constitution' that wouldn't let him do as he pleased. Sadly, all recent presidents seem to have the same defect, which is why we can't seem to recover. Authoritarianism sucks.

Dick Cheney wanted Bush to bomb Syria in 2007. Should Bush have taken his advice? How many wars is enough?

Well, the key issue in 2000 campaign according to my dad was : what to do with the surplus. Is my dad right? Bush proposed tax cuts, Gore promised more entitlements. People chose tax cuts (i.e. Bush). Bush merely implemented the will of the people. Why blame Bush?

He didn't have to give it away all at once. A more frugal response would have been to decrease the surplus a little at a time.

Because Bu$h, like so many of his supporters refused to acknowledge that the tax cuts weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing.
