Don't buy the spin: Bushie policies stink to high heaven

1) The problem with Iraq is we still have no end game strategy, if we ever did. No end in sight and we'll always be terrorist targets there. The only safe zones are virtual garrisons surrounded by our troops. How how can we afford to secure a country the size of California with open borders into unfriendly countries? Also still almost no oil revenue though Bushies promised that would pay for the war. Are they pocketing it themselves first?

2) Disappointing jobs report Friday debunks the theory that we're at the beginning of a jobs boom. That number was 100,000 below the rate of population growth despite hundreds of billions in stimulus (deficit) spending. The problem is that it is trickle down spending. And when the rich are greedy or too conservative money doesn't trickle. Also most of the jobs are low-paying and/or relying on the housing and refi boom which cannot last much longer.

3) The Medicare plan is rejected by 54% of seniors per the new CNN poll. They liked it the way it was. The plan guarantees huge profits for HMO's and drug companies and that money comes directly out of the pockets of tax-payers and seniors. Amazing the government isn't allowed to negotiate lower drug prices. As if the pharmas and HMO's wrote this bill themselves. AARP is also a major insurer so they make a huge profit off this. That's why they backed it. They were paid off with OUR money.
