What if George W. Bush had been President earlier in U.S. history?

1789 - Tax cuts lead to bond default, collapse of nascent U.S. economy.

1812 - Hello, British Empire. I don't even want to think about the Battle of New Orleans.

1848 - Mexico re-takes Texas and adds Louisiana, so today it would be their problem.

1861 - Union wins Civil War in 3 months, but that's because Bush is the Confederate President.

1890 - Congress passes the Sherman Protrust Act, banning small firms from competing with conglomerates.

1918 - Germans break through Allied lines after U.S. deployment follows the Rumsfeld Doctrine.

1940 - Philip Roth has already written about this.

1941 - Bush responds to Pearl Harbor attack by invading Mexico.

1946 - Marshall Plan botched; Soviet empire extends to the English Channel.

1979 - Iran quagmire.

1983 - Grenada quagmire.

1990 - Bush avoids the Iraq quagmire of 2003 by failing to retake Kuwait (Saddam's army was stronger back then).

I think the 1789 comment may be a little off, as Bush is pro-tariff, pro-national sales tax, and would probably not oppose excise taxes either.

I realize you were trying to be funny, but I think you ended up being sadly accurate.

Saw your blog about bad credit equity loan - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!

Great blog on income online prepare tax. I've stumbled on a superb money making website. Linkreferral is free to join and drives traffic to your website in an inivitive way (the more sites you visit, the more links you get back to your website.)

I've only been a member of Linkreferral for aproximately 2 weeks but I have already seen the volume of people coming to my site double - if not treble.

Linkreferral is not only driving visitors to my website but as a result my affiliate sales income has doubled also.

I really cannot push this website enough. It is free and it is fantastic!! www.linkreferral.com is a must for money making opportunities online.
