No....Really...I'm seriously.
Former President George W. Bush, outlining plans for a new public policy institute, on Thursday said America must fight the temptation to allow the federal government to take control of the private sector, declaring that too much government intervention will squelch economic recovery and expansion.
With the Obama administration establishing far-reaching controls in the auto, real estate and financial sectors, Mr. Bush said that "the role of government is not to create wealth, but to create the conditions that allow entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive."

Where was this asshole between the years of 2001 & 2009?
That's an easy one. Bush and the Republicans were trashing every rule and regulation that protects us from the predators who work on Wall Street.
Worse, they were masterminding tax breaks for the rich and working with energy companies and other companies for the greatest redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the top 3% in the history of the world.
It worked beyond their wildest dreams.
The Republicans are trying to make sure the health care companies finish the job and squeeze that last dime out of the golden goose.
