Chiprj Thanks for your comments. I will try. Take a look at my book, Four More For George W? It looks at the major issues and I did try to make sure the Grammar and Spell check were used.
We are not talking about countries that never liked us. We are talking about countries that have been by our side for many years. We have very few friends. If you say look at England, Italy, Spain and Poland, look at what the people think not their leaders that have supported Bush even though their people do not. We live in a world that is interrelated and we go it alone.
I am not gonig away. It will be of great interest to see how Bush and his supporters blunder through issue after issue. My only hope is that America is great enough to endure inspite of you all!
I hope that makes you happy. The truth of my Blog is the issue.
This is not about me. Look at the pictures on TV as to how the President of the United States is being received. When President Bush adressed the UN there was dead silence. Last week there was another story of how unpopular Bush is in Europe. This is realiy !
Canada is not jealous of the United Strates nor the European nations that do not like Bush and his policies. Face it, Bush is not liked by most people of the world. Even in England, the people do not like him or his policies. That is also true in Italy, Poland and Spain. This has NOTHING to do with the Left but is about Bush, his policies and the way he conducts himself. When Bush gets done with our budget deficit, trade deficit and the loss in job
The reception President Bush received today in Canada is a true embarrassment to the United States of America. We have a president who was despised by our closest neighbor and by the people of most of the European nations. I cannot remember a time when the world had so little regard for our nation. The story is the same no matter were you turn with very f
Daiwa Truth has a way of not going away. This is some truth!
There are three ways to bring our spending and revenue into balance. One is to increase the rate of GDP growth which creates more income and therefore more tax revenue. The next thing is to reduce spending and the third is to increase taxes. We should try the first two first but if that does not achieve a balanced budget and than a surplus to repy the debt, taxes must be increased. For 21 of the past 24 years we have had a substantial annual
SSG Geezer. Babby Boomers reach full retirement age starting in 2012 (66 plus 1946) . If you pin your help for the millions of new workers that do not have jobs you have a long time without help. Dr Guy The issue is not labels but results. Yes 9/11 had a impact on our economy. The issue is that the policies Bush has implemented to deal with 9/11 and the slowing economy has NOT PRODUCED GROWTH AT A RATE NEEDED TO REPLACE TH
Facts are facts. I do not hate anyone but the economy, jobs, the Federal deficit and the Trade deficit are real issues that are not being resolved. The real problem is that all the major issues that will impact all of us are not being made better and the policies we are following are not working! If you go back to 1985, we were told the same thing that the tax cuts were going to balance the budget. Well we spent and cut taxes and got deeper int
terpfan1980 Apply what evey label you wish, these are the facts. If you are one of the 5 Million that can not earn a living it is a real problem. When interest rates return to historic norms, the added interest on the debt will kill this country! The trade deficit is a disaster in the making. Bush is doing nothing to solve ANY of these issues. He is making them worse day after day!
Sure Would. During the time since President Bush became President, the work force, due to population growth, increased about 5 million workers. It takes about 115,000 new jobs per month to provide jobs for our growing population. If the number of jobs, given the job growth in the last year, shows about the same number of jobs as in January 2001, where are the jobs for the 5 million new workers? In addition, the pay and benefits of many of the jobs c
drmiller It is you that does not get it. To be correct 50.9% voted for Bush. However many who voted for Bush want him to change his policies -80% have said so! In fact 60 % want MAJOR CHANGES! Just short of half did not vote for Bush- Hardley a ground swell! It is your attitude that has created and continues the harsh way the country feels. We need true compermise and movement to the center. That will not happen under Bush and the GOP leadersh
If you were to look at what the majority of Americans want in social, economic and foreign policy it would not be at either the far right or far left. The problem we are faced with is that the policies that the moderate and left want are ignored by the GOP in power. Thus our nation is not seeing policies- economic, social or foreign -that meet what the majority want. Polls during the election showed that 60 % wanted major changes in the Bush policie
The real issue that will impact us is that we have given our military a series of missions that in total exceed their capability. We should not be using the Reserve and Guard forces to the extent we are. This is not WWII nor anything like it. The reason our military is not at a level to meet the tasks we have given it began during Bush 41 when than Sec Def Cheney created a blue print to use the peace dividend and cut the military and intel
drmiller yes the tax issue per the polls shows people like tax cuts. The problem is that the tax cuts going to the wealthy have not produced the rate of economic growth to even restore the lost revenue from the tax cuts much less the added federal revenue needed to pay for increased defense spending and the Bush War in Iraq. Per the Congressional Budget Office, 270 Billion of the deficit of 450 billion is due to the tax cuts. We are borro
drmiller I am not the source of what voters want. Look at the Blog "2004 Presidential Exit Polls" by Draginol as one example. The truth is that Bush was not elected on his performamce to create Jobs( 5 million workers have come into the work force since Bush took office with no jobs), the economy, the deficit, Health Care, energy policy or the Iraq War.
drmiler You have not looked at the polls and the reasons why Bush was re-elected. It is not his tax policies or his economic policies. In fact the vast majority of Americans in poll after poll did not agree with Bush on these issues. Over half do not agree with the Iraq War. Bush won on other isues and 61 % want major changes in his second term and 80 % want some change. This is the problem, Bush will stay the course. He will alm
drmiler When I see President Bush come out with his so called agenda for the next four years with things like setting up private accounts for Social Security and making the Tax cuts perminent both of which we can not afford, it is the same old sh*t. I point out facts. You choose to say these facts are negative. Bush continues to ignore the reality we are in. Even members of his own party do not know how he can ever pay for his want list
Evan Trivett The lack of money to fund the equipment for the National Guard units took place long before the $87 Billion Vote. In addition, the $ 87 Billion was approved! Bush was running a deficit before 9/11 and the largest element in the debt this year is the Tax Cuts $ 270 billion per the Congressional Budget Ofice. It is our policy not 9/11 that is responsible for MOST of the debt. During the past 24 years (since 1980) w
Let me chime in about Saint George. First the Bush admin cut the funding for home heating assistance while cutting taxes for the wealthy who need no help. He underfunded his own "No child left behind" by $24 Billion (Below his own target levels) He sent National Guard troops into Iraq without radios, body armor or armored vehicles ( Not part of the famous $87 Billion. It was before that) He did not send the number
Geore W. did win and I pray he will understand that 49% of the American voters strongly oppose what he has been doing as President. If he continues to make policy that does not truly understand this nation is divided, he will be a very poor president. The political capital he speeks of is 51% of the vote. That is no mandiate to ignore the other 49% of Americans. This from a moderate Republican of more then 40 years!
We will further in debt and the haves will have more and have nots will have much less
I also worked hard promoting my book, "Four More For George W?" that documwents the impact of the policies we are following. I intend to redouble my efforts to market my book and appear on talk show. "Stay the course" we are on is a disaster and the American public needs to know why!
