This should become a campaign issue, if it hasn't already. Everything Bush has done, since being in the White House, should be a campaign issue, to get him out of the White House. He seems determined to sink the USA. No intelligent person will support Bush, but then again, America has a lot of idiots in it. Too many Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck. Americans will be in serious trouble if illegals are allowed to work, and if American wages are cut. Good-bye car, goodbye house, good-bye all luxuries.

The Wall Street Journal is, naturally, interested in Howard Dean and . . . Wall Street. Which includes the following findings: "Howard Dean also remains a child of Wall Street -- with closer family ties there than any top Democratic contender since John and Robert Kennedy. When his peers took to the streets in 1968, Mr. Dean took a summer job on Wall Street. He spent his formative years as a stockbroker and analyst. He turned $1 million from his parents, doled out over 20 years, into $4 million by buying and selling stocks, bonds and mutual funds himself. "His sale of $15,000 of Vermont bank stocks shortly after becoming governor in 1991 is stirring controversy. Mr. Dean said in a 1994 interview that he sold the shares after receiving what he has termed an 'inside report' on the weakness of the state banking industry. Mr. Dean says that he wasn't trading on inside information. Rather, he sold the stake out of concern that the information he might 'receive in the future as governor could present a possible conflict of interest.'" You might think of Hillary's cattle futures, except that one Vermont bank stock he unloaded has soared tenfold in value since then.
