Let's start with the energy bill. Even the bill's supporters barely pretend that it will do anything to reduce America's dependence on imported oil. It's simply an exercise in corporate welfare, full of subsidies and targeted tax breaks. Then there's the pork-stuffed highway bill. I guess we'll have to stop making fun of Japanese public works spending: now America, too, is building bridges to islands that have almost no inhabitants, but lie in the districts of influential legislators. Finally, Cafta contains "free trade" in its title, but that's misleading. The administration rammed the bill through the House by, among other things, promising to limit imports of clothing from China; over all, the effect may well be to reduce, not increase, international trade. But pharmaceutical companies got measures that protect and extend their monopoly rights in Central America. Mr. Bush has given his corporate buddies an early XMAS. Do his supporters care........not one iota if Harris is any indication........they continue to defend him desperately as he screws them and us. Talk about loyalty, huh?! And its nice to see someone finally acknowledge that we are now a one party democracy thanks to Bush's brilliant supporters. Soon we may not be even a democracy. The selling out of America............... ted
