"Pat Roberts, who is conducting what has to be one of the most shamefully political performances of a committee chair ever." Compared to Jay Rockefeller who is the most shameful ranking minority member ever he is ok. Remember Jay who drafted the memo on how to use the Senate Intelligence Committee for petty partisan political gain and then stored it on a joint server that Democrats had had installed? And then he got the Republican aid fired for finding his smoking gun. Talk about shameless and you are talking about Rockefeller. "I find it interesting, though not unexpected, that you cannot provide solid information about how I am better off because of anything Bush has done. " I don't know if you live in Mecca, Morocco, Mexico or Mobile. That would make a difference in the responses. I don't know if you are an engineer, lawyer, politician, doctor, bricklayer or day laborer. You want specific answers: Budget deficit - Down from nearly 4% of GDP as a result of the Clinton recession and 9/11 to just over 2% of GDP now. Environmental enforcement - He cancelled the ridiculous regulations that suddenly became important minutes before he left the Whitehouse that Clinton never found important for the first eight years. For instance would you really want to be paying five times as much for every drop of water you irrigate you lawn with? Job creation - We continue to limit the regulation growth that stifles small businesses - which provide the fastest job growth. Dependency on foreign oil - Republicans have tried to open ANWAR, but Democrats keep promoting dependency. The growth rate of new Ethanol plants has never been faster in a non subsidy driven era. Biodiesel continues to expand to fill energy needs. Education - NCLB was a creation of President Bush. Federal spending on education is almost twice what it was under Clinton. Integrity of national elections - Yep! More Better Faster. Exposed the manipulation of the national media whose early calling of Florida in 2000 disenfranchised 25,000 - 50,000 mostly Republican voters and created the whole scenario in which Gore tried to steal the election. Health care - Still don't have Hillary SCare except the part that destroyed the US vaccine industry. US companies and scientists still produces most of the innovation in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. We make the whole earth healthier, and because of market manipulation in other countries, the US continues to pay most of the worldwide costs on innovation. people with no health insurance - Continues to be a non issue as most of the reported people without insurance have medical care and are in transition between situations in which they do in fact have health insurance. (Another one of those you have to read the whole story from a reliable source things.) Economic Recession - Yep he stopped it with Tax Cuts. Death Tax Repeal - Working on it. Welfare dependency - still getting better since Republicans in Congress passed reform a decade ago. Intelligence about islamofascists - Even with the treasonous activities such as the NYTimes recent treason we continue to protect even you from death my islamofascist attack. Etc. - Just imagine of Gore had been elected for his one term blowby. Who would be President now? Hint it would be a Republican. Maybe Jeb. Leadership - Instead of checking the daily tracking poll to see what the President thinks, we have a principled leader who is willing to do what is not popular for the security of the nation and the world. Yep Politics Sucks.
