Bush touts free markets over spending
Posted: Thursday, November 12, 2009 3:50 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: Republicans

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Former President George W. Bush, in his first open-to-the press appearance, said that as the world's economies recover, they should resist the temptation to replace free markets with government spending.

Bush said he acted to funnel billions to banks because of a crisis situation. His action, he said, prevented a worldwide Depression.

*** UPDATE *** NBC's Andrew Gross adds Bush's quotes: "The decision last fall was one of the most difficult of my presidency," Bush said in a speech on his vision for his presidential institute at Southern Methodist University. "I went against my free-market instincts and approved a temporary government intervention to unfreeze the credit markets so that we could avoid a major global Depression.

"As the world recovers, we are going to face a temptation to replace the risk-and-reward model of the private sector with the blunt instruments of government spending and control. History shows that the greater threat to prosperity is not too little government involvement, but too much."
