jay behrensrecent presidential popularity polls show that 1/3 of Americans are comeplete idiots.
If you think the oil in Iraq had nothing to do with the decision to fight there, then you are truely cluess. We have a war on 2 fronts. Guess which one got all the troops and the govts attention? The one with the oil. Afghanastan offers us nothing economically, except opium. Then there is the thought that W wanted to the finish the job that his daddy screwed up.
As Barry pointed out, if we were a less civilized society, I would be very worried about a civil war right now. The division between the haves and have nots is wider ever day. All these ballyhooed tac cuts benefited no one except the very rich. Just more of the failed trickle down economics theory. I saw news report a few weeks ago that showed the parallels between what is happenening in our country and the collapse of the communist block. It's pretty scary.
This board is microcism of our society, to a degree. It is more heavily slanted towards the wealthy, by nature of the value/cost of what we collect. The wealthy have benefited the most from this admitstations tax cuts. I tell you that I have not see one extra penny becuase of the tax cuts and real wages (that is adjusted for inflation) for the middle class and below have dropped 5% since W took office. How is that an economic boom for the country, even if the Dow hit 12k? How about minimum wage? It hasn't been eaised since 1997, yet our leadership can alays find reason to give themselve huge raises all the time and they are the people that need the raise the least.
We used to have a govt by the people, of the poeple and for the people. We now have a govt that is by big business, of big business and for big business.
