When I say Bush's I mean the conservative economic model of giving all the money and tax breaks and bail outs and unlocked deregulated banks to the VERY wealthy.

Home equity? up or down?

401K ?

Loved ones ?

Job?

Respect?

Trust?

Fear?

Health?

Hope?


But put conservatism in charge of the state, and it behaves very differently. Now the "values" that rightist politicians eulogize on the stump disappear, they declare war on public workers. They have made a cult of outsourcing and privatizing, they have wrecked established federal operations because they disagree with them, and they have deliberately piled up an Everest of debt in order to force the government into crisis. The ruination they have wrought has been thorough; it has been a professional job.

But has it helped you somehow? Even if it only in your faith in God?
