() If only the domestic situation in the United States is not good enough, after all, the United States is a presidential system rather than a parliamentary country. Generally speaking, the president still takes the initiative and takes the lead in the power struggle with the parliament.

But Li Xuan knew that there was still a huge pit waiting for Bush Sr. next year - the Gulf War. Is it really appropriate to spend hundreds of billions of budget to start a war against the backdrop of high domestic government deficits and a deteriorating economy?

That's right, the Gulf War helped the United States regain the military confidence it had lost after the Korea-War and Vietnam War, stabilized the dollar oil system, and laid the foundation for the United States' global expansion throughout the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So from the long-term interests of the United States, this is a war in which the pros outweigh the cons.

But this war cost Bush Sr. the presidency! You must know that among the successive US presidents, it is still very rare for those who fail to be re-elected.

It was Carter who had such a tragic experience before Bush Sr. He was dragged down by the Iranian hostage incident in 1979. A large number of American citizens have been kidnapped in their embassies, and the government has been slow to rescue them. Angry American voters decided to change the president, so Reagan was cheap!

And the unlucky person before Carter was Hoover, whose situation is almost the same as what happened to Bush Sr. now! The problem of Coolidge's accumulation of prosperity exploded in 1929. The unprecedented Great Depression destroyed Hoover, but made Roosevelt's reputation.

Clinton said, "Idiot, the problem is the economy." Could it be that Bush was so stupid that he didn't understand the core problem? Even if he is stupid, is the think tank behind him also blind?

In fact, Bush Sr. is not stupid, he just has no other choice! You took a lot of dollars from the oil giants and the military-industrial consortium during your election campaign, and now the sponsors are demanding returns, what reason do you have to shirk!

Therefore, although Li Xuan has a closer relationship with the Bush family, he will never go to Bush to give advice and say, don't go to the Middle East next year to fight, it is better to save hundreds of billions of military spending to revitalize the domestic economy!

What Li Xuan really needs to do is to try to grab enough benefits for himself before Bush Sr. steps down, so he wants to promote the development of the Internet in the United States as soon as possible. Regardless of whether Bush Sr. can be re-elected, Li Xuan still has at least a two-year buffer period, which is enough time for him to do a lot of things.

Of course, the most ideal state is that Bush Sr. can be re-elected successfully, but in line with the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, Li Xuan naturally has to make some other plans in advance.

For example, another Mr. President who invested in the Bush family in advance. Bush Jr. should be said to have been pitted by his father this time. As early as last year, he had made a high-profile announcement to participate in this year's gubernatorial election, and won the full support of the entire Texas Republican caucus.

For example, Clayton Williams, a billionaire farmer from southern Texas, was also interested in running for the Republican nomination for Texas governor. But after senior Republicans came forward to coordinate and appease him, he instead ran for Bush's current position, Texas Land Commissioner.

On the contrary, the Democratic Party has started a multi-party melee since March and April for the party's nomination for governor. As the only gubernatorial candidate nominated by the Republican Party, Bush Jr. originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but it is a pity that the Democratic Party is obviously not prepared to let him be too leisurely.

A large number of people in Texas who were dissatisfied with the achievements of the Republican Party and Bush Sr., under the deliberate guidance of certain forces, began to vent their dissatisfaction on the head of Bush Jr. This made Bush's bullish campaign market, which began to become confusing.

Of course, George W. Bush's campaign team did not eat dry rice. In addition to frantically fanning the flames among several Democratic candidates and providing various black materials, Bush Jr. carefully formulated a set of ingenious campaign strategies.

As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the political arena. Since Bush Sr. may affect his son's election, we should simply take a stand between father and son. Since Bush Sr. held high "small governmentism" in the White House and wanted to cut government spending, then Bush Jr. did the opposite!

The American-style democracy-democracy under the two-party system, the republic and the democratic-democratic two parties, you can sing and I will appear, it seems very lively, but in fact, the biggest difference between the two parties is only two words - tax rate! After the Republican Party came to power, the usual practice was to cut taxes, but how can the government maintain daily operating expenses after the tax cuts? Without money, the size of the government can only be reduced. This is the origin of "small government"!

And the Democrats will raise taxes after they come to power. They will tell voters that at the same tax rate, the tax cuts will save every rich person far more than the poor. Therefore, the Republican Party is a party of the rich who rob the poor and help the rich, while the Democratic Party, which represents the poor, must raise taxes on the rich. Use overcharged taxes to expand the power of the government, so as to better monitor the rich not to exploit the poor.

So to a certain extent, the fundamentals of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are very stable, and the choices of the rich and the poor are also very clear. The only thing that is more blurred is the middle class sandwiched between the two, so the election of the Republic of China is to compete for these swing middle voters!

As a Republican, Bush Jr. has some bottom lines that cannot be touched - raising taxes will only make him lose his original stable fundamentals! As for other aspects, it is not impossible to try.

Mr. Bill Hyland, who is sitting in front of Li Xuan now, is the chief writer of the "centre line" campaign strategy that Bush Jr. just determined. He created a campaign platform for Bush that was different from traditional Republicans.

Through a proactive financial budget, it will help the upgrading and transformation of backward industries in Texas and promote the rapid growth of emerging industries. Further advance education equity, protect vulnerable groups, and fight crime by expanding government transfer payments!

At first glance, which is the Republican campaign platform? Just like a Democrat!

It's just that if you want to expand fiscal spending without raising taxes, where will the money come from? Fortunately, the current governor of Texas, Mr. Clements, is a traditional conservative Republican. Although Texas' economic development in recent years has not been very satisfactory, the state's finances have remained basically healthy.

This leaves a great deal of room for Bush after his election - borrowing~www.readwn.com~ If the state budget is as high as the current federal budget, then Bush just wants to follow Reagan's way. No chance. So from this point of view, Bush is much luckier than his father!

Of course, the premise of all good fantasies is that Bush can be successfully elected governor of Texas!

"Mr. Li, your close relationship with George is well known. Democrats took this opportunity to mislead the public about money and power transactions! In fact, as early as two years ago during the old presidential campaign, someone poured this kind of dirty water on the old president. .

If we don't make a timely and correct response, under the constant propaganda of the Democratic Party, lies may also be regarded as truth, which will be very detrimental to us! For this kind of issue, George is inconvenient to come forward to clarify, so he needs to rely on you to tell the truth to the public! "Bill Hyland said to Li Xuan seriously.

"No problem, I can cooperate with your arrangement! The fictitious charge of trading money and power is also a huge harm to the reputation of me and the Dongfang Group!

We are very willing to clarify to the public that if some media continue to maliciously slander out of nothing, Dongfang Group and I do not mind having legal counsel to accompany each other to familiarize themselves with the sentencing standards for defamation! "

Li Xuan nodded with a smile, and then continued, "But as for the timing of clarification, I personally feel that it is necessary to think carefully and not be too deliberate!

By the way, I accepted the invitation of the University of Texas at Austin, and there will be an interview and exchange meeting with students. If anyone raises my doubts in this regard, I think this is a great opportunity! "
