CNN: The GOOD news: "Bush envisions a better world." The BAD news:
...he's in it.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/02/02/sotu.main/index.html



"Over the next several months, on issue after issue, let us do what Americans have always done and build a better world for our children and grandchildren," Bush will say, according to excerpts of the speech released in advance.

"Fixing Social Security permanently will require an open, candid review of the options," Bush will say. "I will work with members of Congress to find the most effective combination of reforms."

Bush also will call for tough choices on the budget and call for Congress "to join him in a spirit of fiscal discipline," the official said.

Democrats have blamed Bush's tax cuts for record deficits, and many fiscally conservative Republicans also have complained about what they consider to be far too generous increases in government spending in the president's first term.

1. Who's children and grandchildren, Chimpy?
"build a better world for our children and grandchildren"

You mean ALL children or grandchildren, or only those of your filthy, greedy, scum-sucking BASE?

5. Well, it is certain he built a better world for his children
to this day, at the age of twenty two, they have not held a real job and from the looks of it, are having too much drunken fun to even think of working a real job. They just love wearing those designer gowns that cost thousands. Oh, they did get paid to run the rock concert at the inaurgural and also for working on their daddy's campaign. LOL

And he also built a better world for Laura, who worked maybe for four or five years in her entire life before she met him, and then dropped out of the working man's melieu. She has the nerve to preach about her husband's reform of the SS system in a recent interview about heart health. LOL She is a smoker, three time over.

Work, was below her, once she married into the Bush family evil empire. She has not worked at a job her entire life except for those few years before she married Bush. To this day, she is a stay at home mother whose responsibility is raising her twins, even though they are fully adults.

Yup--he is building a better world for them and all those in his elite cabal of the have mores.

"....candid review of the options,...."

"to join him in a spirit of fiscal discipline,"

Touchy feely touchy feely ONLY.

3. How we gonna do that
while strapping them with a debt they can never hope to pay off? I ask for this greedy administration to quit pissing our tax dollars away on foriegn misadventures and tax giveaways. Cut the military in half and we still have the mightiest military on the planet. How's that for some fiscal discipline?

4. After Bush "fixes" Social Security, all of those children and
grandchildren can look forward to their parents and grandparents moving in with them. Lots of the greediest young republicans don't realize what will happen when their parents and grandparents are unable to afford to live in their own home or apartment after Social Security benefits are cut.
