[This is from June 18, but it still holds true today.]
"There are cracks beginning to show in the Bush Cabal's charade. On Flag Day someone asked Bush, "What do you say to the American people about the deleterious state of the economy? There are 37 million Americans who now have seen a 50% loss of equity in their IRA accounts and/or 401-K plans since you took office." It's a fact. Since the inauguration of George Bush Jr., untold thousands have lost their jobs due to corporate failures or increasing layoffs. More importantly they have now found out that despite what they had previously been told, their pensions are not guaranteed by the US Pension Guarantee Corp because both Bush I and Bush II Administrations had not funded it. As a consequence, it is as much as $3.5 trillion underfunded.
Bush was angered by these remarks and went on to imply that any citizen who questions Bushonian economic policies, as it relates to the ever declining stock market and ever declining value of the US dollar, is being unpatriotic.
The implication is that we should focus on the "War on Terrorism." So what if Rome is burning, while I, George Bush, just fiddle? We still must keep wearing our blinders, and we still must keep waving that flag. But you could tell that he was getting nervous about these kinds of comments. This is the bugaboo for the Bush Administration. This is what they fear - that the people are going to start looking at the economy and putting two and two together.
And what can the people do? They can make sure that George Bush doesn't serve any more than one term in office. Despite the fact that our economic ship of state is sinking under grand Bushonian malfeasance, public opinion polls are still showing that 80% of the American people are succesfully having the wool pulled over their eyes. After all, we are the most naïve and provincial nation on earth. The American populace has always been easy to fool, particularly when the pretense is done in the name of patriotism."
