I think I even have a few Journal posts about it. It starts with George H.W. Bush's calls for a "New World Order." Or even earlier, with his involvement in Eugenics, and Prescott's funding of the Nazis. Whatever way you look at it, this family is evil incarnate. They have NEVER, EVER produced anything of value to "their country." Everything they've been about enriches themselves, while harming others. Forever, throughout the history of the Bush Family.

So I see it as no stretch to claim that Bush's entire goal was to bring down the entire American system for his (his family's) own enrichment and power. One only has to ask what the hell they were talking about when Grover Norquist spoke of "drowning the economy in a bathtub." What the hell was that supposed to mean? Yet, here we are...several trillions of dollars in impossible debt while unsustainable off-the-books wars continue longer than WWII, with no end in sight. And who profits from them? Bush, Cheney, et al.

I'm in complete agreement with you. There is no rational explanation why a president would continue to cut taxes and funnel the money to his 1% "base" while waging unnecessary, insanely expensive and expansive wars. No rational explanation at all...unless framed in the context of breaking the bank and bringing down the entire system. None at all.

While I believe Bush is/was a fucking idiot, I also believe he was at least knowledgeable enough about the family history and the family goals to be able to stand before a podium and lie through his his teeth in order to facilitate those ends.
