Who: As President Bush battles low poll numbers and increased public criticism, some conservative voters are expressing openly their disappointment in the President’s performance.
As a Reagan administration staffer and author of Reaganomics: Supply-Side Economics in Action, Bruce Bartlett was one of the first conservatives to criticize President Bush’s economic policies openly. That criticism helped him lose his job as a senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis.
While President Bush is no stranger to attacks from the political Left, Bartlett targets the president from the Right. He challenges Mr. Bush’s conservative principles. As a conservative economist, Bartlett actually gives former President Clinton more credit than Mr. Bush for following conservative economic principles.
Whether you support or oppose the Bush administration, you’ll find Bartlett’s assessment provocative. Join him for a discussion of his controversial views of the Bush presidency. That includes his views about economic failures and his belief that the Medicare drug bill is the “worst legislation in history.”
