4. And Which Party Controls The House & Senate

Need this point even be mentioned?

Check out TPM and how difficult it is for Repugnicans to decide which way to skin this cat...but every way is even more destructive to the economy. Be asured of that. Self interest is at a premium these days.

5. AS usual-all talk, no action....

Why Bush lets big oil ruin the economy-while price controls would surely help his approval rating, is beyond me. Maybe it's his buddies in big oil or the inability of dems to make an organized stink about it, that allows the status Quo to continue.

7. Well, he's only going to be president for another couple years,

but he'll be rich forever.
