"Bush comes out from his vacation to catapult the propaganda some more...
Former President George W. Bush is apparently sick of clearing the brush and playing with his toy pony collection, because he has some criticism for the current administration that he wants to share. Below is what Bush had to say well as my translation into non-bullshit for you:
"I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in," the former president said to applause from members of a local business group. "You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money."
What he really said:
It was the private sector coupled with my total disregard for regulation that created the first ever American golden-calf economy. Obviously you can manage your own money better than the government can. But we are not talking about you and and the money you so wisely invested in my administration. We are talking about "their" money - the public's money - which the government obviously needs to spend (and government officials can pocket) at will.
Here is Bush again:
"Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States," he said to huge cheers.
What he really said:
The role of government is create wealth for government officials and their corporate sponsors. The government achieves this by acting as a broker who transfers public funds into private hands through the rigging of contracts and through creating opportunities of investment such as wars. In addition, all risk and responsibility is shifted from corporate donors and friends to the public. It is really a beautiful system, is it not?"
Apparently you do.

And those people Bush was speaking to did as well.
