Bush-era policies

Bush-era policies refer to the actions and decisions made during President George W. Bush's administration (2001-2009). They included tax cuts aimed at stimulating the economy, increased defense spending and military interventions in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, and the implementation of the Patriot Act, which expanded government surveillance to enhance national security. Education policies emphasized accountability, with initiatives like No Child Left Behind. These policies focused on strengthening security, boosting economic growth, and promoting American interests abroad, often resulting in debates about their long-term impacts on civil liberties, economic stability, and international relations.
