Bush Warns of "Temptation" To Abandon Free-Market System

Former President George W. Bush said the United States must resist the "temptation" to allow government to take control of the private sector as the global economy slowly emerges from a downturn.


“I went against my free-market instincts and approved a temporary government intervention to unfreeze the credit markets so that we could avoid a major global depression,” Bush said.

And without mentioning President Obama by name the former President did have some rather pointed comments for the current Administration claiming that generally “history shows that the greater threat to prosperity is not too little government involvement, but too much.”
