Bush policies putting country in jeopardy
Jan. 2, 2004 12:00 AM

A few years ago our country was living through the largest economic expansion in history.

We were experiencing the first cash surplus in 35 years. The national debt was being paid down. Air and water pollution were at their lowest in decades. Crime was at a record low. We had nearly full employment. Israel and Palestine were talking peace. Life was good.

Then something went awry. More than 3 million good-paying jobs lost. Mostly overseas. Billions were lost in the stock market crash. Thousands lost their retirement nest egg. Corporate crime ran rampant. Oil shortages. Price gouging. Health care insurance costs are beyond what most can afford.

The middle class is in a decline. We attacked Iraq for questionable motives, costing the lives of our troops and innocent Iraqi civilians, not to mention the cost in dollars, and at the same time creating more hatred of us in the Mideast than ever before.

We have lost credibility as well as support of our allies around the globe. I truly believe that the Bush administration's policies are a detriment to our people and country. Our future is in jeopardy.
