After tonights speech, shall we start guessing what programs he will be cutting
to balance the budget? Medicaid? Food stamps? Farm subsidies? How can he complete the destruction of the middle class.

1. Revenue bills originate in the House
Bush can't do anything by himself, cuts-wise.

3. If he praised it - he cuts it
Any liberal program that Bush mentioned he will cut. He's followed the same pattern for seven years and there's no chance he'll change at this point.

6. Arrogance Utterances From Bubbleland
It didn't matter what his assholiness said last night...to him or to us. He was only there cause he "hadta". Most the others in that room were in the same boat. This dude's game now is to stick it up everyone's backside as he is so oblivious to the real world and doesn't care. He lives in his own universe where dogma and macho always trump reality and common sense. It's so damn predictable now...this asshat is like a wind-up doll...if it's the economy, he chirps tax cuts...if it's denying health care to children, it's the Democrats. Typical...and a stage for what's ahead.

You can see this shit is spoilin'...he wants to spend his last year sticking it to everyone...those "supporters" who have deserted him and the rest of us who have never trusted this oxygen thief. He'll cut any and every program he knows is important to the middle and lower classes cause those people never supported him in the first place...fuck 'em. His job is to finish the pillage and make a clean getaway. The best way to do this is to obstruct and ignore...keep living in the bubble cause there's never been any need to leave it.
