You guys may have seen this, but
my daughter and I were cruising around the "Bushisms" web site and came across these Jeb Bush quotes. Sounds like he's one of the creators of the master plan here...

Quoted from http://mindprod.com/politics/bushismsbudget.html#BUDGET

“We must create a crisis in order to ensure that there is no alternative to a smaller government.”
~ Jeb Bush, Imprimis Magazine 1995
This may explain why brother George seems to be intentionally attempting to tank the economy.

“To bring about a genuine political realignment, Republicans must kill the Government Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs — the very Goose they have fought so hard and long to possess.”
~ Jeb Bush, Imprimis Magazine 1995
In other words, Jeb wants to stop the functions of government that create prosperity. The man is either nuts, or has the same problems with English as his brother.

“We mustn’t assume that we are going to deinvent government solely from inside the Beltway or within one or two sessions of Congress. We will do it one step at a time, in one community at a time – at the local level and through local institutions like churches, nonprofit and volunteer organizations, and families.”
~ Jeb Bush, Imprimis Magazine 1995
Jeb wants to destroy democratic government and hand the reigns to private corporations, much the way society was organised in the 1800s, without any regulation on the robber barons. He must have been impressed by the 1975 sci fi movie, Rollerball, starring James Caan.

1. Holy dubya, man! I'm nominating this one...
:wow:

Though given how many fortune 100 companies get government subsidies (corporate welfare), I think Jebbiekin's comments about the Government Goose is phony.
