The Bush administration was the most devastating administration in U.S. history for only one reason.

The Supreme Court.

The addition of Iraq, the economy, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 ... those just add to his putrid legacy. But the Supreme Court will be his defining legacy.

It'll haunt this country 20-30 from now.

He royally fucked us with Alito and Roberts.

"Right-to-Work". Loss of real pensions with the 401-K craze. Intentional promotion of HIV. Iran-Contra. Trickle Down (named after the damp spot in his pants, no doubt).

That fucking dyed hair...

Yep, Old Leather Face is a contender.

Moreover, the long-term survival/viability of our Republic in its present form will be seriously challenged imo, for its willingness/ability to service its debt and meet its obligations has been seriously impaired. Luckily, the oligarchs and plutocrats are satiated, having gouged at the Federal trough with the rest having largely been left to scrounge for themselves.
