Bush now has only 34% approvals. cbsnews.com This is where Nixon was when he left office. I say, let's see some deja vu all over again. Bush-Cheney waving goodbye from the chopper taking them back to their fat payoffs at Carlyle Group and Halliburton. Good riddance.

re: By increased productivity I mean more production per hour worked. In the long run such increased productivity should free up resources to be used for the production of new goods and services but the transition is painful for many people, and in the modern economy the transition is fairly rapid and continual. "Modern economy"? Hell, the current economy is always "modern". What's happening is a trend not a blip... we are losing our middle class and with it the American Dream. re: Remember the quote "The era of big government is over" ******** Yes a very silly quote coming from him, or really any post FDR president (including of course GW). Maybe silly to you, but Clinton and a good Republican congress limited the growth of government. Pretty much pay as you go. You can't say the same for the administrations that preceded or followed him... especially followed. Bush is the worst. re: Unfortunately no realistic presidential candidate gets anywhere close to my overall political views. "Unfortunately" is subjective, I think it's fortunate. You can't see the reality through the rhetoric. The current administration and congress should be abhorrent to a "libertarian", a catastrophe. If you think there is any connection between libertarians and neoconservatives, you need to pay attention. The neo's are the antithesis of libertarians, much farther away than traditional liberals. Try to forget your prejudice about Rep/Dem or Conservative/Liberal, these cats are a different breed. Look at actions not words.
