Bush: Crony Capitalist
Given the choice between serving the national interest and favoring the rich, George W. Bush has opted incessantly, even obsessively, for the latter.
That is the main reason why he may well be unseated in November. If Bush tax policies are not class warfare, then the term has no meaning at all.
Finally, even some in the mainstream press have begun to notice the nudity of our emperor! About freakin' time....

Bush Supports the Shift of Jobs Overseas
This title is NOT a political slam on my part. This - incredibly - is the actual headline in the LA Times! God help us. Check the lead on the story:
The movement of American factory jobs and white-collar work to other countries is part of a positive transformation that will enrich the U.S. economy over time, even if it causes short-term pain and dislocation, the Bush administration said Monday.
The embrace of foreign outsourcing, an accelerating trend that has contributed to U.S. job losses in recent years and has become an issue in the 2004 elections, is contained in the president's annual report to Congress on the health of the economy.
"Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade," said N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, which prepared the report. "More things are tradable than were tradable in the past. And that's a good thing."
Go read the entire thing ..... but have a barf bag handy. I suppose that next they will alleviate healthcare costs by convincing us all that terminal illness is a priviledge, and that amputations - even without anaesthesia - are not only fun but fashionable! And 50% of this damn country will believe it.
