Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Undertoad]

Y'know, though, that's how it *always* looks from the opposite school of thought.

From the left Clinton is fixing the health care system.
From the right Clinton is stealing the health care system.
From the left Bush is stealing the social security system.
From the right Bush is fixing the social security system.

I remember how the Ls (and ls) thought about Clinton when his first two big steps were raising taxes and going after medicine. The sky was falling! We were running towards socialism! Failure imminent!

But it wasn't.
