Last in my series on President Bush Accomplishments; there are simply other things that I need to address and I think I've made my point about how successful President Bush has been either in the international or domestic arena.
Below are several massive pieces of legislation that received bipartisan (if not overwhelming) support in the House and Senate. All Americans now pay less in taxes than they did in the Clinton years. More people are working today than in the Clinton years. And, most importatly, I believe we are safer today than we were in the Clinton years. Congressional Democrats have overwhelmingly supported every major action and request the White House has made in conducting the war on terror.
I'm disappointed that the President's efforts to save Social Security have stalled. When legislation is ultimately passed to save this program, President Bush should receive credit for initiating the conversation, for touching the "third rail".
Accomplishment #12 - The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). This passed the Senate 62 - 38, twelve (12) Democrats voting in favor. Passed the House 240 - 154 with 28 Democrats voting to give a tax cut to every single American that paid/pays taxes, to eliminate the marriage penalty, and to eliminate the death tax. Uniting, uniting, uniting.
Accomplishment #13 - Four million new jobs since May, 2003. I include this job number here because the link to the tax cuts mentioned above cannot be denied. This Accomplishment did not fit my original definition for inclusion in this list but this Accomplishment is simply to great to ignore.
Prior Accomplishments:
#11 - Confirmation for everyone!
#10 - $15 Billion in AIDS relief for Africa
#9 - Medicare Reform
#8 - The overwhelming authorization to use force in Iraq
#7 - The No Child Left Behind (landmark) Education (reform) Act
#6 - Advancing a peace initiative in the Middle East
#5 - The PATRIOT ACT
#4 - The Partial Birth Abortion Ban
#3 - Nuke free Libya
#2 - The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act
#1 - Nuke free North Korea
