Bush's Fiscal Morality Gap

[camero]

From www.stpetetimes.com by Matthew Miller

snip> But President Bush can't ask for $166 billion for Iraq while he runs record $500 billion budget deficits and doubles the national debt- all in order to give $300 billion a year in tax cuts over the next decade mostly to the best-off people in America.

No, this is a moment when President Bush's radical fiscal irresponsibility has veered into radical fiscal immorality.

But that's only one of the countless Bush gaps under which America now suffers. There's the Bush jobs gap (more than 3 million lost).
The Bush growth gap (too little). The Bush budget gap (record $500 billion-plus deficits). The Bush ally gap (which leaves us footing the full bill abroad). The Bush poverty gap (the poverty rate is up, though few have noticed).

The president and those advising him must think we're as dumb as they are cynical. That if Bush goes on TV one night and invokes the memory of Sept. 11, we'll suspend all powers of reasoning and fork over another $87 billion, no questions asked.

This arrogant White House either grossly bungled the postwar planning or concealed what it knew to be tis likely dimensions;
it will be interesting to see whether Bushies prefer to defend themselves as incompetent or dishonest.

Check it out. This one should be hung up on the refrigerator right up until Bush's ouster in 2004.

Public Opinion is moving to our side because it shocks us average americans. As it should.
