DMI Injustice Index: The Bush Legacy

The Florida recount... the invasion of Iraq... No Child Left Behind... the Bush tax cuts... the falling number of consumer safety inspectors... failed Social Security privatization schemes... the economic crash... George W. Bush has left quite a mark as president. As part of DMI's 2008 Year In Review, this year's Injustice Index looks back at the president's 8-year legacy. And as with past installments of the Injustice Index, we use hard-hitting statistics to tell the story.

So check out an attractive rendering of the Bush Legacy Injustice Index and delve into the sources behind it. We hope you'll find it informative and enjoyable. But we also think you'll ask: "What about..."

What about global warming and the environment? Illegal spying, torture, and extraordinary rendition? Immigration, transportation, and civil litigation? The truth is, our compilation barely scratches the surface. So we've reserved this spot on the blog for your suggestions for additional statistics that convey President Bush's legacy. We particularly encourage statistics linked to credible sources. Submit your ideas in the comment section of this post. And thank you!
