and Medicare Part D?

A. Bush's wife, Laura, strongly opposed both programs, leading to an unusual policy rift between the First Lady and the president.

B. Those two pieces of legislation were much more aligned with traditional liberal policies that expanded federal spending, running counter to his conservative philosophy.

C. Both programs left key policy decisions up to the states, and as a politician Bush had generally
favored a stronger central government.
