Bush Promises

This might be a good time to refresh our memories of some of the things Bush promised the nation when he accepted the nomination in 2000.

Bush: I will extend prosperity to all Americans.



Hollow Promise: Real income and wages have plummeted under Bush. [US Department of Labor; US Census]



Bush: I will fix the schools.



Hollow Promise: Bush Budgets broke promise to fund school reforms by $27 billion over past four years. [Presidents FY 02-05 Budget, www.ed.gov]

Well, you get the idea.
