A little more GW in him than you might have though

Jeb Bush goes for the 'compassionate conservative' label with a lecture on poverty

His brother's campaign invented the label fifteen years ago, while simultaneously committing the US to a new, "more humble" foreign policy.

Once in office after a hotly disputed election he invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq, starting wars that would last over a decade, costing trillions, and whose military sequelae continue even today, and attempted to defund Social Security behind a smokescreen of bogus privatization.

Bogus?

When you privatize a school or a highway the school or the highway is still there.

If they ever fully "privatize" Social Security it will be gone.
