There is not much I can say just jump...
I am not shocked to see this info.
I am numbed by all the crap this country has taken for past 8 years and now numbed by all this racism and hate on display.
BUT this report really capped it for me.
I am glad the pus is being released because it needs to be. All this hate and anger directed at Obama was inevitable. Once a black man was elected it had to come to the fore.
Anyway I digress this report is devastating to Republicans and their tired mantra of taxcutting.
Closing The Book On The Bush Legacy
by Ronald Brownstein
Thursday's annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the Bureau's principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the books on the economic record of George W. Bush.
It's not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride.
On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush's two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked. By contrast, the country's condition improved on each of those measures during Bill Clinton's two terms, often substantially.
The Census' final report card on Bush's record presents an intriguing backdrop to today's economic debate. Bush built his economic strategy around tax cuts, passing large reductions both in 2001 and 2003. Congressional Republicans are insisting that a similar agenda focused on tax cuts offers better prospects of reviving the economy than President Obama's combination of some tax cuts with heavy government spending. But the bleak economic results from Bush's two terms, tarnish, to put it mildly, the idea that tax cuts represent an economic silver bullet...

There is not much more to say.
Bush really bent us over and drove it home.
