State of Denial!

Bush's State of the Union address last night was again filled with lies, prevarications and downright untruths. The man really doesn't even know he's lying - so he's in a total state of denial.

The only way Iraq can be better is if there are no Americans dying. And the only way to make that happen is to bring them all home. The American people no longer have to be the policemen of the globe. If factions of Islam want to kill each other off, so much the better. Why don't we just cordon the whole region off, keep all the killers in with all the other killers and when they stop killing each other open talks? OIL! So, nobody wants to ride a horse anymore???

My whole generation lost their men. The ones who came back from Viet Nam were pretty much messed up beyond reason. Now, we are doing the same thing to our grandkids. Enough already!

Education is messed up totally! The Economy? What a mess!
Tax relief? Hey - give every person (not companies) who make less than $25K a year a complete tax amnesty. All tax money (except SSI & Medicare) are returned at tax time. That includes sales tax, since the lower income person pays a proportionally larger amount of them anyway.

This "stimulus package" won't help with my rent this month. It won't help with gas, food or electricity. So, as far as it goes for low income folks, it's pretty much useless. $300 doesn't even feed the family for a month.

Education - Stop trying to manage it! Let people in the cities and towns do that. They did a pretty good job in the '50s and can do it again. They will. Maybe if it didn't take TWO INCOMES to support a family of 4 - unlike the '50s when one income did it, we would have less trouble - less gangs and after school problems, less drugs, less entitlement issues. Kids today think they deserve and are entitled to their own room and bathroom, a car of their own at 16 or before, a cell phone - hey, forget it! Share with your sibling and call me by 4pm! From a payphone! And if you don't like it, you're grounded with extra chores. TV removed, radio removed and supervised, unplugged computer time only.

Health Care - That's a total mess! 9 million getting tax relief so they can get health insurance? What if the insurance costs more than you make in a month???????

Get over it. We need a national health insurance that works. Take a model from the Canadians (where my job went) or European countries. Figure it out, but get it done.

Partisan Politics? Yeah! You Bet! As long as that person is in the White House, that's what's going to happen. He insists on doing it his way. I hope that 2/3 majority will kick him in the behind when January 2009 rolls around. He's a total lame duck and doesn't know how to live. Such megalomania!

Get over it, Mr. Bush. You are an ass who needs a hole to crawl into - ask Cheney if he will let you.....
