Why Bush Likes a Bad Economy

James K. Galbraith

A chapter in Unbearable Cost, 2006, pp 21-25 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Almost nine million people are unemployed. Many millions more are underemployed, and most of all, underpaid. Millions more lack health insurance. States are cutting basic public services everywhere, while the taxes — property and sales, mainly — to pay for those that remain are rising. And the gates of opportunity — for instance, to attend college — are closing on millions more.
