Under Bush Republicans, the American Dream Has Become Less Affordable for Middle-Class Families

For hard-working, middle-class families all over the country, life during the Bush presidency has grown less affordable and less secure.President Bush’s record of fiscal incompetence and mismanagement and Senate Republicans’ close ties with special interests have helped lead to both lower wages and skyrocketing costs for basic necessities like gas, health care, and college tuition. Unfortunately, instead of addressing the problems facing the middle class, Bush Republicans have either ignored them or enacted measures that have made matters even worse.
