3. Gag me with a spoon please....
<snip>

"As Franklin Roosevelt once reminded Americans, “each age is a dream that is dying, or one that is coming to birth.” And we live in the country where the biggest dreams are born. The abolition of slavery was only a dream - until it was fulfilled. The liberation of Europe from fascism was only a dream - until it was achieved. The fall of imperial communism was only a dream - until, one day, it was accomplished. Our generation has dreams of its own, and we also go forward with confidence. The road of Providence is uneven and unpredictable - yet we know where it leads: It leads to freedom.

Thank you, and may God bless America."

Why does this prick think he can steal and bastardize every good original line that democrats have made famous.

4. What a hypocrite!
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 09:01 PM by bush_is_wacko
"America's prosperity requires restraining the spending appetite of the federal government?"

Excuse me Mr president, didn't you just ask the government for more money?

As I said, frickin' DELUSIONAL!
:puke:

He wants to fix the government and help Americans proper by firing government employee's. What is wrong with this man!

6. This a complete lie about SS
So here is the result: Thirteen years from now, in 2018, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. And every year afterward will bring a new shortfall, bigger than the year before. For example, in the year 2027, the government will somehow have to come up with an extra 200 billion dollars to keep the system afloat - and by 2033, the annual shortfall would be more than 300 billion dollars. By the year 2042, the entire system would be exhausted and bankrupt. If steps are not taken to avert that outcome, the only solutions would be drastically higher taxes, massive new borrowing, or sudden and severe cuts in Social Security benefits or other government programs.

In 2018 SS will start drawing from bonds. In 2042 those bonds will be gone... but not bankrupt!!

11. The bonds will be gone, but SS will be taking in more than a trillion $/yr
Doing NOTHING would give SS beneficiaries more than any of Bush's scams.

Or,doing a little would solve SS's problems.

7. Tax code
Year after year, Americans are burdened by an archaic, incoherent federal tax code. I have appointed a bipartisan panel to examine the tax code from top to bottom. And when their recommendations are delivered, you and I will work together to give this Nation a tax code that is pro-growth, easy to understand, and fair to all.

-------------------------------------------------------

Do we have to guess what this means? I think not!
