2. That's good-it has a lot of what my first draft does...updated
Edited on Sun Jan-02-11 01:17 PM by w8liftinglady
Senator Hutchison:
You failed to mention the Tax Cuts of 2001 and 2003-during a time of war-that got us into the position we are now in...under your watch.You failed to mention the removal of many safety nets to regulate the banking industry-and the banks nearly destroyed our world economy and required massive bailouts.
The elephants in the room are the two wars we remain in after TEN years.I saw NO comments on that.These wars that cost our nation a trillion dollars a year,failed to care adequately for our troops and veterans until those Democrats took office,and continue to funnel American dollars to foreign countries to this day.
The fact that 50 million Americans are medically uninsured at present is something you choose to add to through repealment and privatization of Medicaid and Medicare....but keep those pharmaceutical profits coming(at the expense of those who can least afford them,thus increasing their hospitalizations).
Continue to allow shipment of American jobs overseas,so that our wages drop as we fight for the left-over scraps...and allow corporations and the wealthiest to base their accounts in Tax Havens and earn more tax deductions while they continue to send their jobs overseas.
I expected so much more from you,Senator Hutchison.You used to have your constituents' best interests at heart.Now,you've resorted to partisan politics.I heard nothing of bipartisanship in your editorial.
Yes,Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.
