Democrats lambasted this bill to provide prescription drug coverage to elderly Americans on the grounds that it was too generous to pharmaceutical companies and not generous enough to seniors. Be that as it may, it represented a huge advance over the status quo and arguably the largest expansion of the U.S. welfare state between Lyndon Johnson and Barack Obama.I, of course, pointed out years ago that not everything about Bush was a disaster: he helped the porn industry, made cheap weddings possible again and made me love the French.
Thanks, Dubyanutz!
