Some folks want the price of gas at the pumps to go up to $5/gallon. It's good for America! People have to pawn possessions to buy gas, but So! So what if the elderly can't get their drugs now that the new bs medicare system is in place! Spending $1 trillion on a lost cause war over in Iraq makes more sense than going after terrorists, is far better than taking care of this country!...Make certain that children are born, too. And if those children are born into poverty, they will pray for them as the children starve because the school food programs are being cut - thank goodness, because who wants to help children anyway?!!!. Heaven knows, some people are adamantly opposed to helping babies and children whose parents can't afford much. Those people made the choice to be poor. Make those moms go to work, let the kids eat catsup soup! For goodness sake, do not take away windfall profits from the oil companies. Do not tax them either. Get rid of the "death tax" for the super wealthy...those are the only people who count apparently, though I doubt anyone posting on SI is in that group. Here's what's happening now: Elderly who sometimes had to choose between meals or drugs now have to choose among heating, food, transportation, drugs. Young folks who can no longer get federal funding for school can sign up for Iraq. Yep, this Bush plan really works for 33% of US citizens. They're ecstatic about the prospect of losing their jobs, pensions, medical care, all safety nets, their homes, their children's lives and becoming indentured servants to the state. What are they drinking!!!!
