Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.

That's the basic point of the documentary: Blackwater, Titan and the similar "defense contractors" are nothing but mercenary companies. They're scum.

Exactly. These people want to privatize simply because that puts their operations OUT of the public eye.
It hasn't always been so nor will it always be but, today, when you hear some politician yammering about deregulation and privatizing, you know you're listening to a criminal and a fuckwad.
