What makes you think he suddenly stopped lying?
News sites are reporting that Bush says he sacrificed free-market principles to save economy.
Bullshit. You have to have something in the first place in order to sacrifice it. Rhetoric is not reality.
It is free market economic theory, alone, that correctly explains how the present crisis came about (due to government intervention in the market in the first place) and why more of the same will only make things worse.
I might add that the president’s remarks appear to potentially be part of an organized campaign of disinformation seeking to blame a non-existent free market (i.e. stateless economy) for the failure of statism. Alan Greenspan sold out his prior allegiance to free market economic theory when he took over as head of the market-manipulating state capitalist Federal Reserve — yet he deceptively spouts the “OH NOEZ! My lazy-fairy caused this!” routine like some hairless and bespectacled lolcat of the ruling class.
