Yep, I'm sure those are not slanted in any way to make them sound like old George is out there killing his fellow Americans. But I'm with you guys now. I see those 438,000 families out there roaming the streets looking for coal to use for the houses. It's on the nightly news every night. And the air around here, I haven't seen the sun since George took office. We need to offer lifetime unemployment benefits to those who are laid off. Are you with me? we could use guys like you who can find writings that are full of propaganda to sell it. Jim

§ Called for as many as 850,000 government jobs--nearly half the federal civilian work force--to be outsourced to private contractors--a move designed to reduce their pay and benefits and eliminate union protections, prompting Bobby Harnage Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, to say that Bush had "declared all-out war on federal employees." GREAT IDEA. It will save billions and help to balance the budget. EXAMPLE The Bush Administration required the printing of the federal budget to be put out to bid this past year. The GPO and several private companies bid on the job. The GPO won by bidding over 24% less than it charged the US last year for printing the budget. Imagine if that was carried out across the board....(BTW, this idea was first floated by All Gore's "reinventing government" task force and died a quiet death due so as to not jeopardize labor support) JLA
