Do You believe the U.S. is in better shape Today- than before Bush became President. A "Yes" or "No"- is fine

    definitely not. not to point any fingers, but because of his choices and actions, we went to war with Iraq (when we should have been trying to make peace with this unwelcoming country), we now have the No Child Left Behind program (which i have to say is obviously not helping our children's education), and we are now enemies with at least 3 foreign countries. in my opinion, the U.S. is in worse shape today than before Bush became President. it might not all be his fault entirely, but our country is not doing too well anymore.

    Big corporations have done better during Bush's reign because of tax cuts and there has been an overall increase in their percentage in profits. However, I do feel there was something during Clinton years that it just felt more prosperous among the average fellow american. You could make decent money, gas was not that expensive and prices were not climbing as fast as they are now. Human services and health programs had bigger budgets to help people that truly needed it. For example the WIC program does not give out as much milk, cheese, juice , etc as it use to however the need of low-income families has not changed they just have to do with less.
