According to Reuters, Bush is leaning on Glenn Hubbard and Kevin Warsh. Hubbard was a paid witness for Countrywide — years after the abuses of subprime lending had become common knowledge, and Warsh was calling for fiscal austerity in2010, even though the economy remained deeply depressed; saying the responsible thing was just to accept 10 percent unemployment.

Indications are 100% that I will be following next year's election from overseas.

Worked for me well in 1992 . . . Japan is in the run-up to Tokyo 2020, so that's interesting.

"My name's Bush, and I have some ideas as to how to improve the economy."

Shudder.

I wonder if he'll shift government pension cash to Wall Street, then get hired as a consultant later. This is not corruption, because Al Gore did not do it, so stop saying that!

Hmmm...lets see
Cut taxes for the top 10% or so
Deregulate business (especially wall street/banking)
Cut government (except to enforce morals/Christian values)

Optional: Start a new war.

Just a hunch.
