goerge bush was a good president

This is a devils advocate. "He passes massive tax relief for the american people because they needed and that setted off huge job growth for many years he greatly stimulated the economy"During Bush Years, Household Income Declined For First Time On Record. According to a report by the Center for American Progress: "The Bush economic cycle saw the first decline in median household incomes of any cycle since 1967, when the Census Bureau began tracking household data." [1]So his plan didn't work.Bush Tax Cuts Inefficient, Didn't Stimulate The Economy. [1]The tax policy center said these taxes didn't work. "He freed Iraq took out a very bad man and leader"The state of Iraq has done nothing in the past nine years that would in any way justify the United States in making war against it. [2]Like serioisly what did they do to us? Thre was no WMD's or anything. Also American troops have died in that war, would you give up your kids just to get rid of one dictator? Think about it, your loved kid, or some guy you vaugly remember from sunday news."He greatly wiped out al queda and the taliban"And in 2005, Bush shut down the CIA’s unit dedicated to finding bin Laden in order to shift resources to Iraq. “The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants,” [3]He shut down al quada by killing lower level operatives through unconitutional wars that killed US troops. "He worked hard to stop the econmic collaspe"Work hard =/= results. I can work hard all I wan't getting F's no matter how hard I tried means I am a bad student."he tried to reform socil sercuirty and add life to it"First, he drew a mocking standing ovation from Democrats by saying that "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security," even though, as I said, he'd never submitted specific legislation. [4]Never really tried."he reformed immigration with more security at the border"But at a price:The troops would be paid for with some of the $1.9 billion requested from Congress to supplement border enforcement this year. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said he intends to call a hearing on the National Guard deployment "at the earliest possible opportunity." [5]That's what the National guard woudl get paid. So out 5 trillion dollar debt plus that is a downturn. So did he secure the broder no, did he help yes, did it cost money yes. So minor problem vs big money. "he made america more safe"So biggest terrorist attack happened diring his term =/= more safe.Of course, 9/11 did happen eight months into Bush's term -- after he'd received a memo warning him "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." [6]So he knew, he just was negligent to react. "the econmy was booming under him"Booming?President George W. Bush entered office in 2001 just as a recession was starting, and is preparing to leave in the middle of a long one. That’s almost 22 months of recession during his 96 months in office. [7]So one can argue the first one was clintons fault, the second may argued as clintons and bush's, but either way that statement was false. "he passed the clean air act that cleaned the air"Yes but it had a price:It:a. hurt the economyb. had a lot of loopholesc. didn't over ALL sources of pollution. [8] "he reformed medicare making it better for millions of seniors"IF you ook at my source social secutiry amd medicare payroll taxes vs benifits has been declinign for a while, and it did so under bush as well. SO his reforms didn't work. [9]My arguments are liek the ones above, but I need to add 2 more:C1: The debthttp://en.wikipedia.org...The graph shows an increase of debt at the very end of bush's term and a moerate increase in the midde of it.Also increase in debt 2005-9+2,135 billion+7.1% of GDP [10]It rose under his term, his buggest decrease in debt was -0.9. Fail.C2: The wars where unconsitutionalall of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Sen. Joseph Lieberman) criticized President George W. Bush for his unilateral recklessness in starting a war against Iraq, they are missing a larger point: The invasion was not just reckless. It was unconstitutional. [11]It is time to set the record straight. The United States Congress never voted for the Iraq war. Rather, Congress voted for a resolution in October 2002 which unlawfully transferred to the president the decision-making power of whether to launch a first-strike invasion of Iraq. The United States Constitution vests the awesome power of deciding whether to send the nation into war solely in the United States Congress. [11]that = unconisutionalThe war in Afghanistan is an unconstitutional violent costly occupation of another country who never attacked us , Alqaeda has left Afghanistan we are now pursuing the Talibans who never attacked us , whose interest do we serve by continuing this exercise in futility ??? [12]=conclusion=I agree with you but am doing a devils advocate. Good luck. Bus is a bad president for the reasons above. And my rebbuttals where my other argments not listed in my contentions.
