Bush pays back his big campaign contributors. His government is filled with them. If Americans want to change the situation, they will have to vote, but I am not sure they will pay that much attention to the economic situation until it begins to hurt their pocketbooks. The people who will suffer the most will be their children: "When President Bush informed the nation last Sunday night that remaining in Iraq next year will cost another $87 billion, many of those who will actually pay that bill were unable to watch. They had already been put to bed by their parents. Administration officials acknowledged the next day that every dollar of that cost will be borrowed, a loan that economists say will be repaid by the next generation of taxpayers and the generation after that. The $166 billion cost of the work so far in Iraq and Afghanistan, which has stunned many in Washington, will be added to what was already the largest budget deficit the nation has ever known.
