Smirk explains the new drug program

[Doctor_J]

You may have seen this. This is verbatim. Alas, his deep understanding of the program could not keep it from being a train wreck...


WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: 'I don't really understand. How is the new plan going to fix the problem?'

PRESIDENT BUSH:

'Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to that has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, supposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.'

Remember his billions-trillions-millions response during the 2000 campaign?

2. No wonder Dimson has failed at everything his entire life.

He doesn't have the slightest clue about anything, and his path of destruction continues.

3. Fantastic insight into one of the most confused minds....

in Presidential history. This man could not successfully manage a 7-11 on his own. It would fail, just like everything else he has attempted during his miserable life. If someone were to take the training wheels off his presidency he'd fall flat on his face. Even with the training wheels still on he's done a horrible job. He's all form and no substance, just what the CONservative elite wanted in 2000. He's pliable, like silly putty, and they can bend him and shape him however they wish. No stupider man has ever been President of our country.
