Bush's Revealing Economic Speech

The Bush speech 06/06/08

The only good thing that I can say regarding this president is that I never voted for him or any of his people. After seeing the 06/06/08 speech on the economy [I'm presently laid off so I was able to catch the, "avoid prime time", midday broadcast] I have to wonder if this guy has an active brain cell in his head. When Ken Lay and his lackeys drove ENRON off into the ditch, someone sent him a letter that read "I would like to know if you have recently been smoking crack, as it would explain a lot." After hearing Bush hand the responsibilities to stimulate the economy back at congress with the lame "make mah tax cuts permenent'", and the ever repeating "we gotta drill fer more domestic awl in this country", I have to ask that same question, and one more as well: "aren't there legal charges that can be filed here? Here's a guy who has become a reverse "Robin Hood" by making as many of his rich friends richer still at the expense of every common citizen in this country. By his own lies and actions, made obvious by the latest Senate intelligence report. he has murdered at least 100,000 people in the world so far. Add to that the disregard of the Geneva Convention and the "all too eager to resort to torture" mentality, the absolute tanking of the dollar, and gasoline at $4.35 a gallon, I really hope that this president and his people spend the rest of their worthless lives locked up in a federal penitentiary.

Enormous Costs for Future Generations

I found it laughable as I read different articles on this speech. One article quotes President Bush as saying: "I urge the Congress to be very careful about running up enormous costs for future generations of Americans. We'll work with the Congress, but the idea of a huge spending bill fueled by tax increases isn't the right way to proceed." I would like to know how he justifies the huge deficits we have run up over the last few years. These are nothing more than "enormous costs for future generations". If you want something now, pay for it NOW!

I have no children on whom the burden will fall, but I do not want to burden the children of others with my debt!
