Deficit Recovery Not Looking Good
I'm sitting here with 60 Minutes playing in the background while I read my reqular news feeds and headline emails. Bush Watch, my absolute favorite, had an article that really caught my eye. A whole week has gone by since my last entry, but don't think that I am slacking, I was actually making my blog more readable, easier to load and less cluttered. This article is written by Jerry Politex, titled, 'Behind the Bush Deficit' I literally got a pit in my stomach when I read the last line. Here is the mini-ed: In 5 years in office, Bush has never vetoed a spending bill. While it's true that he pretty much gets the bills he wants from a Republican Congress, there's a more ominous reason. The greater the nation's debt, the less government money there is for the poor, the sick, the infirm, the jobless, the uninsured. The greater the nation's debt, the less government money there is for the control of corporations, government oversight, our voting system, social security, our health system, the environment, the nation's parklands, funded mandates. With 3 more years to go, there is little on the horizon to suggest that Bush's ultimate goal to take the US back to the pre-depression days of a bi-polar nation of the rich and the poor is not working. By the time Bush leaves office, the nation's deficit will be so large and the transfer of wealth, resources, and technological controls into the hands of the wealthy and the corporations will be so complete that recovery may prove unlikely.
