bush family

20051October 20, George W. Bush was sworn in as President of the United States. Unusually, this is the fifth time that the Bush family has taken the oath in the White House (Bush was elected vice president twice and president once; Bush was elected president twice. Behind these five vows, a family that ruled the United States, the Bush family, rose. He and his father, George H.W. Bush, became another pair of "father and son presidents" in the United States after Adams and his son, and their re-election was unprecedented. Now when it comes to the Bush family, both the American media and the public use the same word-the Bush dynasty. As a rich family that dominates the United States, its influence can be seen. Among many rich families in the United States, only the Kennedy family can match them. Compared with the ill-fated and declining male members of the Kennedy family, the prosperous Bush family is obviously much stronger. "Money is the breast milk of politics", and the political achievements of the Bush family are naturally inseparable from their thick money bags. But because the political prestige of this family is so great, no one is interested or thinks it necessary to find out how much money the Bush family really has. People just need to imagine that Bush's great-grandfather was a manufacturing tycoon, Bush's grandmother was born in a family of financial giants, and the Bush family's industries spread all over oil, banks, military enterprises and even sports, so we can draw a rough outline of the size of Bush's family fortune.
