Our
View: Bush has a big mouth
I
can't tell you how many zeros are in a trillion
dollars but I can tell you that is what
our new national deficit is going to be
after Bush gets his extra $87 billion for
the continuing conflict in Iraq.
More
than what was expected, the funding will
be split up among the various Middle East
"projects" Bush has got going
on. It is a disgrace that after months without
a peep from the little, twisted mouth Texan,
he unleashes upon the nation a 360 degree
turn around in policy, ideals and a whole
new ration of spin about letting bygones
be bygones.
The
audacity of the president who just a few
months ago was letting the members of congress
make up new names for french toast and dumping
imported wine out in protest is now letting
their heavy transgressions go and asking
them for help.
If
the people of the nation can not see the
hypocrisy that has been spewed from the
lips of our Commander-in-Chief then everybody
needs to turn up their television. Take
a look at the facts.
A
senator from Florida said that the $87 billion
is more than will be spent on education
this year and twice what will be spent on
transportation.
The
$87 billion is even more than what congress
initially approved last April for Bush's
dabbling in Iraq.
In
the almost four years Bush has been in office
we have seen a dramatic increase in the
national deficit, a tremendous decrease
in jobs and a huge rise in unemployment.
As the deficit grows faith in the economy
shudders, and that faith that tomorrow the
little green pieces of paper in your wallet
are going to be worth something is what
runs Wall Street and a good deal of international
commerce.
Bush
has been out there giving tax cuts to the
rich, weakening corporate policy and starting
fights and blowing off allies left and right.
What part of all this says he is worrying
about the voter who makes less than $100,000
a year? He's out there fighting the war
on terror but allowing our best buddies
Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat to continue
killing each other's people. Because that
is not terrorism, that is war. And war is
okay, just not terrorism. Got it?
Bush
is keeping his lips sealed about still not
finding any weapons of mass destruction
nor that other mysterious voice on the tape
recording. Now we've got Osama bin Laden
and Saddam Hussein making unexpected voice-over
appearances and two wars still going on
in the Middle East.
For
all of our superior firepower and all of
our wonderful democracy-bringing spirit,
Bush's mission has failed. He has wasted
our money, he has wasted his soldiers' lives
and time in a war effort that was lied about
to get into and will probably be lied about
to get out of.
Therefore
before the next Vietnam stretches out like
a nightmare for a decade lets take off our
waders and start dealing with the fact that
our economy is in a downturn and we are
a trillion dollars in debt.
