The wheel of fortune.

Andrew Sullivan feels prescient:

[Massive government spending] is Bush’s final legacy, and some of us saw it coming years ago: the creation of a massive social welfare state in America, with the potential of entrenching liberalism for generations. This is Bush’s achievement more than Obama’s. And without Bush, none of it would be thinkable.

During those years, I was terrified that Bush was steering the country irrevocably to the right, as his administration systematically eliminated civil liberties and social programs. It feels good to be wrong.
