Ok, so Bush appoints Karl Rove as lead man on Katrina, Ok, so Bush appoints a White House insider (Frances Townsend) to lead the investigation on why F.E.M.A failed, Ok, so the republicans are going to meet later this week to outline a plan to delay/cut Medicare prescription drug benefits for seniors. Ok, so the costs of Iraq/Afghanistan didn't come out according to plan (paid for with oil revenues). Ok, there's enough sludge in the transportation bill to pave an Interstate from Tallassee to the Governator's manison but it's ok because many repus are up for re-election next term. Ok, so let's say Rita hits cat 4 tomorrow and slams Galveston Texas sunday eve about dark-thirty, will Bush have his second trifecta? Will Bush then start to simply eradicate Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare? Will FDR be re-buried in Lenin's tomb?
Not only is it your money folks, it's your nation as well, do you give a rat's ass?
dys, You forgot to mention Bush's appointment for the head of Immigration to a woman that has absolutely no experience in the field. More incompetence from this administration.
Bush has always wanted to bankcrupt the US, because he still believes in small government. Now that he's mortgaged our children's children's children's children's future, he's just putting the last nail in the coffin. LOL
Bush says the US is gonna have the biggest reconstruction effort on this planet in New Orleans, and nobody, not even the democrats, are make any sounds of descent.
With Galvesten in the line of Rita, Bush is gonna promise the rebuilding of that city too!
With all that extra US dollars floating around this planet, our currency is gonna deflate like monopoly money, because China and Japan quit buying our bonds to finance our deficit.
I'm just wondering what the feds are paying in interest on all that money?
Easy solution. Cancel all federal funding of the rebuild of NO (which I would agree with) and start cutting the funding the useless programs for those who don't contribute to society besides sinking their teeth into the public tit of social services. Revamp all social services and make people prove that they need them instead of just applying. If they are able bodied and can work then they get nothing and will have to work or starve. Increase taxes slightly on those companies who have shipped jobs over seas and promise to remove said taxes if the companies move a majority of their services back to US soil. Enforce the trade agreements with foreign countries (including China) and also start the process of reclaiming all monies given out the other countries in the means of loans. Remove all illegal immigrants so that lazy non-working Americans can get jobs and if there are still jobs left over then start a guest worker program.
FYI - for those interested, our government is paying $336 billion in interest payments now. That will increase as we spend more in Iraq/Afghanistan, New Orleans, Mississippi, and Galveston.
Our government is also spending the social security trust fund as current general funds. When that becomes due, the federal deficit and interest payments on government bonds will increase ten-fold.
If anybody understands simple math, no family or government can keep spending more than income for many years and hope to survive. At the macro-economic level, our currency will be so inflated in the world markets, it'll become worthless. If you think goods made in China is cheap now, wait another ten years. We'll be lucky if we can afford to buy anything made on this planet - including the US.
