Bush's Permanent Tax Cuts And The Economy

  Not going to say anything here. We are just going to look at the rhetoric from Bush and the facts. This is basically just a little observation.

"I think when people take a look back at this moment in our economic history, they'll recognize tax cuts work."
-- President Bush, 3/12/08

VERSUS

"[M]aking the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and Alternative Minimum Tax relief permanent would add $4.3 trillion to deficits and debt over just the next ten years and would substantially worsen the nation's already serious long-term fiscal problems."
-- Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, 1/28/08 American Progress

  I'm trying to figure out what George Bush's tax cuts have done for me. Hmmm. Due to those cuts and the mess in Iraq, my food supply costs have gone up. The dollar has gone down in value, Exxon is making a killing while the price of oil goes upwards to close at $110.33 today. My work hours have been cut back and my salary can't keep up with all of the food, gas, and medical supplies that I use.

   Thanks for those tax cuts George! Instead of stimulating the economy and creating jobs, you have shot it dead! I'll bet that even the stock market closes lower when Bush leaves office than it was when he entered the office.

Bush And The House Version Of FISA

  Hey, guess what everybody? President has threatened to veto the House version of the FISA bill because they won't give him and his friend at ATT the criminal amnesty that they so desire. Once again, I am totally surprised. NOT!

  Bush is a little pissed off that the Democrats actually want to show some over-site of Bush's activities when it comes to illegally reading yours and my emails and listening in on our phone conversations, Instant Messages, and our faxes.

   Bush had a few things to say to reporters.

"It seems that House leaders are more interested in investigating our intelligence professionals than in giving them the tools they need to protect us," Mr. Bush said.

"Congress should stop playing politics with the past and focus on helping us prevent terrorist attacks in the future," he said.

  The House is expected to vote on the bill today, which king George would like changed in order to meet his preferences. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

  Senator Kennedy had a response to Bush's bullshit fear-mongering.

"The president wants Congress to pretend that his administration did not conduct a massive, illegal, domestic warrantless surveillance program that was one of the most outrageous abuses of executive power in our nation"s history," said the Massachusetts Democrat.

"Rather than accuse Congress of playing politics, the president should stop playing politics with our national security," Mr. Kennedy said. "He is the one who has repeatedly blocked extension of the law, insisting that the phone companies must be protected, even though he claims that American lives are at risk."   WaTimes

  I'm not sure about all of you readers, but I have had more than enough of this idiots crap.

   Can we begin impeachment against Bush and Cheney yet?
