Bush Collapse: What, My Problem?

This has been around for awhile, but I'm posting it here because I think it's becoming more relevant as time goes by. If you hit the link for the full story, scroll a little further than halfway down.

After Bush was selected to be President by the Supreme Court in 2000, as he made ready to leave Texas for the White House, a reporter asked him how he felt about leaving Texas holding the deficit bag after his six years as Governor. Bush said that was the next guy's problem, not his. By 2008 the U.S. will be left holding the largest deficit bag in history, which promises to be over $3 trillion, $5 trillion if the Bush social security "reform" is passed. According to the Dems, the Bush deficit, created since 2000, places a "birth tax" of $30,000 on each newborn baby.

What Bush did in Texas is nearly the same as what he is doing on the national scale, today; he has added the arms industry to the corporate trough: you begin by providing tax cuts to the weaalthy and weakening consumer and envirnomental protections for the benefit of corporations, calling such actions "tort reform." Then you declare a budget deficit and demand that governmental aid for health care, education, welfare, and housing be cut to make up for lost revenue.

Although Bush cannot be held responsible for all that has gone wrong with our country, his presidency is obviously the most blatant and the most egregious example of selfish, wrong-headed, short-sighted policies that are literally destroying our country. But when he leaves the presidency in 2008, Bush likely will tell a reporter, "That's the next guy's problem."

1. He said that he hoped he wouldn't be here to deal with it, that he

was seeking a higher office, meaning he was hoping to do to the rest of America what he had done to Texas . MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

10. It has gone from $5.8 to $8 trillion in less than 5 years

He has already added $2.2 trillion in less than 5 years, so the $3 trillion mentioned here is more fantasy than reality. $3 trillion is wishful thinking.
