      Tom Friedman wrote a piece years ago, that was actually good. It compared China and the US from 2001-2008. They spent about $1 trillion on infrastructure in anticipation for their olympics, while we spent that amount invading Iraq. And here we are now. And this is why I get into arguments with liberals about who was worse, Bush or Trump. They're both extremely bad, but I think Bush might have done more lasting damage. He did have two terms, so lets say its debatable.
