Bush's tax policies have been diametrically opposite to what would prevent the current recession and the upcoming depression.

Much as I hate to be the voice of pessimism, Bush's past "tax relief" for the wealthiest in our society (on the theory that that'll "kick-start" the economy) is exactly wrong for what is needed now. Bush's speech just now advocates not only this same wrong-headed policy, but he wants to make it permanent.

The BILLIONS Bush is now agreeing to inject into the economy is too little too late. The reason I make the above prophesy is because it serves to widen the gap between rich and poor, just as has been the cause of the current crisis. To exacerbate that is to create a DEPRESSION.
