Quote[/b] ]That really is a mis-informed statement. Bush stepped in at the start of a recession. Then 9/11 occured and dug us much deeper. Then Bush is starting to catch all of these crooked CEO's that Clinton allowed to lie and artificially inflate there earnings. Those are the reasons the economy was doing bad, which if you havn't noticed, is getting much better.
Now, this is funny. Yes, Bush is the savior of the economy. When it starts its cycle down because greedy Americans have tried to become millionaires on a stock bubble and the "new" products of the 90's have saturated the market, Shrub pushes and gets passed 2 tax givaways to take from the less well-off and to further enrich the very well-off. Wow, that is the way to create a fair and just society. Why didn't that fool Clinton ever think of that. Just let those least in need KEEP MORE! I mean they are the best, they believe in God, they take all the risk, they're the "right" kind of people, they have to pay so much more in taxes when they buy $20 million dollar homes, #10 million yachts, that 6th car, that 4th home, that rare wine, those 10 servants, those designer clothes and of course they need $5 million a month to live on when they retire. Yes, when a recession starts, when you decide to go it alone and fight a war you hyped, when you want to funnel money into the military industrial complex for Mars, the Moon and space weapons -- by all means cut taxes on the rich. He should have closed tax loopholes on corporations and raised the tax % on the wealthy. Wasn't that % like 90% on the very wealthiest back in the 1950's and early 1960's when the economy was booming!?
States are having to cut services. We are the laughing stock of the western industrialized world.
Saddem was no threat to us. He was contained. Besides, most of the "we must get Saddem" guys around Shrub were all toasting Saddem at his table when Saddem was at his worst in the early 80's under that other horrible President and truly a bad B movie actor -- Reagan. TALK ABOUT FLIP FLOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want to get dictators -- which is not really our business -- but if you do, try Iran, North Korea, China and Zimbabwe for starters. We might also look at the Saudi royal family but then they are in bed with the Bush family. No wonder Bush allowed all of bin Laden's family to fly out of the USA the day after 9/11. Ever notice that the Democrats fought the big wars -- WWI (Pres. Wilson), WWII (FDR), Korea (Truman) and Vietnam (LBJ). The Repubs fought Grenada (Reagan) Panama(Bush) Iraq Act I (Bush) Afganistan unfinished (Shrub) and now Iraq Act II unfinished (Shrub). Gee, I think I will trust the Democrats to fight the big wars and truly protect my security.
Absolute rear-end kicking is for fantasy filled video games and B movies. War is for adults who are not on a personal crusade and imagine they are chosen by God. Hopefully, God and certainly Jesus would only choose peace -- at least that's how I understand them. I missed the "war is ok" chapter and "giving to the rich is ok" chapter of the Good Book.
