Political Factoid
Paul O'Neill, President George W.
Bush's Treasury secretary,
served "during a period of
in-fighting within the administration
and tough economic times*
worsened by the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks on the United States"
"History bore out [O'Neill's]
concerns over the Bush tax cuts,
which along with the costs of
Bush's wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan contributed to
soaring U.S. budget deficits
in subsequent years."
