Remember the Rebates

This weekend's calendar page (from my beloved The George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown calendar) has this quote:

"We need to counter the shockwave of the evildoer by having individual rate cuts accelerated and by thinking about tax rebates." October 4, 2001

Well we did the tax rebates, twice in fact, and it occurred to me after reading this quote that they did nothing to stave off the evildoer—either the foreign kind which Bush intended or our own internal evildoers.

Our banks and financial systems have crashed regardless. Nice job, Dubya.
