Let's talk about the BUSH DEFICT 3+ TRILLION BUCKS. This is a much more important issue than if JK got a piece of shrapnel in his arm or not 35 years ago. The rightwing needs to concentrate on this reckless deficit spending. It will undermine the entire conservative cause if left unchecked.

Deflation, stagflation coming soon. Greenspan wants to raid social security - from what I've read, and to cut SS payouts by 40%.

Six in 10 Americans Confident in Greenspan’s Economic Leadership (six out of ten Americans have no idea what Greenspan does!) Americans more confident in Bush than Kerry to move economy in right direction by Joseph Carroll GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- The American public, in a recent Gallup Poll, has more confidence in Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan than in five other political leaders in the United States to recommend the right thing for the economy. Sixty-one percent of Americans have a "great deal" or "fair amount" of confidence in Greenspan. President George W. Bush trails Greenspan, with 55% saying they are confident in Bush's handling of the economy. Slightly fewer than half of all Americans are confident in the Republican leaders in Congress (49%), Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (48%), and the Democratic leaders in Congress (47%). The current results show the lowest economic confidence ratings recorded for Bush, Greenspan, and the congressional leadership on this measure over the past four years. gallup.com
