President George W. Bush argued in 2004 that the best way to grow the U.S. economy was by waging war, according to former Argentine Prime Minister Néstor Kirchner. So...how'd that work out for you "W"orthless Bush. It certainly screwed America!

So would it be a stretch to ask that if Bush thought the best way to grow the economy was to wage war, then the best way to thin the population was to send troops to fight those wars? Just think of how many minority and female soldiers could be wiped out?

George Bush was just the "W"orst thing to ever happen to this country and the proof keeps rolling in every day.....

President George W. Bush argued in 2004 that the best way to grow the U.S. economy was by waging war, according to former Argentine Prime Minister Néstor Kirchner.

Kirchner, in a meeting with Bush, suggested that the United States replicate the successful nation-building strategy it implemented at the end of World War II.

"And he stood up from his chair and got angry. He told me, 'A Marshall plan! No! That's a crazy idea from the Democrats. What needs to be done here, and the best way to revitalize the economy is -- the United States has grown based on wars,' he told me. That's what he told me," Kirchner recounted.

Bush added, said Kirchner, that "all the economic growth that the U.S. had had, had been based on the different wars it had waged."

George "W"orthless Bush hurt us, ruining our economy by not taxing the wealthy while borrowing against our national debt to pay for a couple of wars while making us a moral outcast and then doubling down by shunning the basic tenets of our Constitution.

This was the reason for the war in Iraq, the economy... as Bush faced a recession in 2001-2002.
Sooner or later the truth always comes out. I'm sure there's more to come...

Thanks to HuffPost for an assist.
