On ABC Nightly News: Bush talks about ownership and making America competitive in the global economy

[Deja Q]

President Bush just told the media reporter lady she owns Air Force 1 as much as he does. Wow. When can she take trips all over the place like he does?

Worse, Bush is talking about globalization and making America a contender again by leveling the playing field. Not worse, but why so long to state what seems the obvious?

WELL DUH!!!!!!! We've known this for years!!

So when will prices of goods match the cost of living that Indians and Chinese enjoy?! Want America to be truly competitive? Make everything level, just as Bush said!!! But that hasn't happened and it isn't while the big corporations doing all this keep things uneven and off level! :dunce:

1. Let's see what happens if she tries to fly her friends to the Bahamas in it.

Shrub is so full of shit.

2. When I see the words "competative in a global economy"

I figure it means find another way to lower the wages/benefits of the American worker.

What will WalMart do when no one has a job and no one goes to their stores to buy garbage made in China?

4. The Chinese middle class (and India's, they now have wally too) will make up the losses.

OTOH, having just read some other info, that may not be the case.

Americans, despite the other countries' growing middle classes, still have more spending power... but for how long?

3. republics aren't to be trusted.

The chimp probably means to level salaries to $.20 per hour and have the wealthy own the slaves.

That's the republic meaning of ownership. High society owns it all.

5. Don't you mean 'republicants'?

We live in a Republic...

[katsy]

6. Yes!

Sorry.

:blush:

7. We've "leveled" a lot of countries already with the trade policies

and organizations we control.

Read: The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time.

You'll be seeing the next installment in Lebanon, which has just gotten "loans" from the Paris Group....

8. That is both his Narcissism AND his absolute ignorance of American democracy.

NO person "owns" AF1, in ANY sense of the term. IOW, even as a METAPHOR it is disturbingly revealing of Bush's value-system.
