Well done on the revisionist history. Subprime mortgages were responsible for most of the meltdown.
So it was Clinton and Barney Frank's fault. OK. But Pelosi and Reid poured their idiot-kerosene on the fire and made things worse. Then the ultra incompetent Obama has governed us into the worst economics times for the non-ultra wealthy in over 90 years! We would be in a robust recovery with a semi-competent President. Obama has proven to be our nation's very worst.
Seems that Dubya has taken to painting these days and is singing its praises. That's just dandy, but maybe he should have considered the benefits of the arts when he cut these programs to pay for two wars and tax cuts for the wealthy.
Bush 2006-07 Budget Cuts $4.3 Billion from Education Kills or Greatly Slashes Funding for 46 Education Programs
In his fiscal budget for the federal 2006-2007 year that commences on October 1, 2006, President Bush proposes to end 42 US Department of Education programs and significantly reduce spending for four other Education programs, for total budget cuts of $4.279 billion.
This article is a complete listing of those 46 programs, along with program descriptions per the US Department of Education website.
Cut...Arts in education, $35 million - development of programs designed to improve or expand arts education (music, art, theater, dance) in elementary or middle school curricula.
ha! That's a good one. You think he stays out of the spotlight just because he's a good southern gentleman?
The Manhattan Bridge is for sale.
Then you should be able to google quotes from Bush On Syria, Iraq, Obamas foreign policy, the sequester, etc, etc. Lets see them!!!! I am betting you already own that bridge

Clearly we should have elected Caribou Barbie or the Marquis de Mittens. Either of them would have led us to glory by this point.

Bush warned the DEMOCRATICALLY controlled Congress about the housing market problems and pending collapse and they laughed in his face and said nothing was wrong....Barney Franks spit all over the podium in his desperate attempt to pretend all was fine and dandy.
The die was long cast by 2007. As for a warning from Bush, I'm gonna ask for a citation on that. He very rarely knew his left from his right hand, let alone predicting the real estate collapse.
Substitute "useless wars" for "arts" in your statement and I'm with ya.
NEA funding peaked in 2010 at about $150m. Defense budget is $500b. At least the arts can make us happy.
Correction: funding was much higher in the early 90s when accounting for inflation.
