Bullish On Bush: How George Bush's Ownership Society Will Make America Stronger

Rating:
Summary: Overrated bore of a book
Review: I bought this book having enjoyed Moore on TV many times. However, Moore should stick to TV as this rambling, one-sided, economics disaster-of-a-book put me to sleep on three different occasions. The foreword by Larry Kudlow (who I'm not impressed with on TV) definitely got things off on the wrong foot as Moore ran with this book the rest of the way. Too bad he was running into the wrong end zone. Very disappointing, considering how short the book was. Too much GOP cheerleading, too little objective analysis.

Summary: 70 Year Conservative Fight
Review: The 70 year old conservative ideological fight against the Social Security Act is now incorporating the usual metaphors we've come to expect from this Administration: "train wreck," "bankruptcy," "cancer," etc. As long ago as the late 30's, conservatives claimed it would bankrupt the nation. Then it was Barry Goldwater's turn in the 60's, then Reagan's in the 80's. All took their shot at it, but none have come as close to transforming this great program than Bush. All someone needs to do to determine the validity of Bush's claims is to carefully read the 225-page annual report of the Social Security trustees to see that the system is probably in need of a small adjustment (such as those Congress has approved in the past) but the system IS SOLVENT AS IT IS!

This book is merely the P.R. hatchet-job by an Administration hack.

Summary: Great Book and Right on the Money
Review: This is book with a message that needs far more attention. President Bush has almost single handedly rescued our economy from the aftershocks of the 9-11 terrorist attack, the Clinton recession, and the Clinton corporate frauds, and yet he receives far too little credit for that.

In this book Moore lays out the case beautifully, and reminds us how much value the Bush economic policies have been to this country and to the world. Bush's tax cuts and pro-market, pro-business policies have yielded tremendous fruit.

Bravo to Moore for bringing attention to this.
