And The New York Times calls The Toxic Texan's budget "Irresponsible" because it does
not provide money for spending on education and health care, money that Bush promised.

I wonder why the Democrats do not call for an investigation by a special prosecutor
into the energy price increases. I heard on tv that Governor Locke suspects that there might
be price manipulation. And then there are Bush and Cheney's ties to the oil, gas and electric
industries.

Excerpt from Price of Gasoline May Pose Problem for White
House

By RICHARD L. BERKE
From The New York Times
May 10, 2001

"For Mr. Bush, the issue is particularly
perilous. He is trying to defuse a political time
bomb while not threatening the oil industry,
which once employed both him and his vice
president and was a huge source of donations
to his campaign.

Even as the president scrambled to blame the
Clinton administration for the energy woes,
House Democrats held a news conference
today to upbraid Mr. Bush as having a "do-
nothing response" because he is captive to the
industry.

"Politically, Bush has got an absolute
nightmare," said Gov. William J. Janklow of
South Dakota, a Republican who is close to
Mr. Bush. "People are not even discussing
taxes right now. They're discussing petroleum.
It's money out of their pocket. Everybody
knows what they paid for gas last year, last
month, last week — and yesterday. This is
the most unfair heat he will take. He's been
president for only 100 and some days."
