Bush 'Abandoned Free-Market Principles' To Save Economy
US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was ****** to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from "collapse."
:wtf: "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," :wtf: Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision "to make sure the economy doesn't collapse."
Bush's comments reflect an extraordinary departure from his longtime advocacy for an unfettered free market, as his administration has orchestrated unprecedented government intervention in the face of a dire financial crisis.
"I am sorry we're having to do it," Bush said.
