That's right folks, no matter what ails you, it is probably the fault of former President George W. Bush. Hangnail? Bush. Short? Bush. Bad relationship? Bush, of course. Idiotic leftist policies failing? Bush times 50.
The "supercommittee" negotiations failed to produce the cuts in deficit spending required to avoid automatic cuts in domestic and military spending. Why? Not because Democrats failed to address entitlement spending until the last minute (which Nancy Pelosi (D. CA) had already instructed her caucus not to agree to), not because Republicans wouldn't agree to effectively raise taxes by addressing exemptions while lowering the base rates (they did). It was because of Bush, specifically, the Bush tax cuts according to this report from ABC News.
So the lesson is, neither Democrats nor Republicans currently in office have any responsibility for their actions as long as the finger can point to President Bush. Whatever happened to the buck stops here?
