Then you aren't a US taxpayer. If you are then assuming you are too young to have made any money before this year you will still be getting a Bush tax cut when you pay your 2007 taxes.

And that is Bush's fault how?

and the Chinese are still producing crap with lead in them.
For instance, I bought a brand new microwave last week and put it up. I tried it out on some taco shells (made in China, as the box said), and the thing starts flickering, and the taco shells burst into flames, one thing that happens when metal is inside a microwave. Had my neighbor dissect it, and the actual machine is fine, no troubles there, so it must have been what's in the shells that I was about to eat...

I agree that the Chinese produce crap but, sorry, :lol: your story sounds like a load of bovine feces. Flaming tacos? really... :roll:

-An unstable stock market that requires money from the government to be added to the equation (Bush added an addition $400 billion to it about two months ago).

Wrong. The United States CONGRESS holds the nations purse strings and controls the issue of money, not the Administration. Civics 101 man.

Meh, this is nothing compared to the old days. I was born in 1959. You want to contemplate the possibilty of WW3 try experiencing air raid drills in grade school. Try seeing fallout shelters in peoples back yards. "Remember kids if you see a bright flash, stop, drop and cover!" Try standing on the edge of the actual Iron Curtain as a young Army private in the late 1970's and looking across the barbed wire and minefields at a powerful and modern equipped enemy army that outnumbered you so badly it would take the use of nukes to stop them if the decided to attack like everyone expected them to at any moment.

-Severe inflation in the country.

Inflation is not severe at all and certainly nothing compared to what we had during the Carter administration but inflation is hardly the presidents fault.

-Outrageous insurance and real estate prices.

Again all this is Bush's fault how?
Quote:
The Democrats have just taken control of Congress. It's only been a few months. You can't suddenly make everything that's wrong with this country (a lot) go away overnight. It takes time and cooperation, something I've not seen out of the Republicans in Congress towards the Democrats.
|
Cooperation a very two way street and the Democrats have been in power for a year now. Instead of trying to work with the administration or the other side of the aisle at all, they have spent that time doing what they can to further polarize this country when they ain't badmouthing our our own service people.
Quote:
They don't care about the people, they just care about their ridiculous pay and their 70-day vacations. The whole lot of them is corrupt (Demo, Repub, and Independent). We should remove them all and start over.
|
Depends on what you mean by start over but yeah i'd also like to see a big congressional shakeup.
Quote:
And we shouldn't even be in Iraq. The Republicans are the ones who went along with it (just saying we should), and Bush never even had his demand to go to war approved by Congress, something which is QUITE illegal and should have earned him an immediate impeachment trial.
|
Wrong again. The US Congress voted for this war. Where do you hear this junk?
Quote:
Saddam had the situation under control in Iraq.
|
Hitler had the situation under control in Germany as well. Your point?
Quote:
He said that we should remove Saddam in 2004 because he wasn't doing an adequate job as their leader AND he was in possession of WMD's. No WMD's were found, and 2007-Bush says we have to stay in Iraq because the terrorists will take over.
|
The bottom line is that Saddam Hussein was a die hard enemy of this country who would have done everything he could to hurt us and had the oil money to do it with once we pulled our boot off his neck. He repeatedly violated the Gulf war cease fire agreement for 12 YEARS by firing on our forces patrolling the UN no fly zone almost on a daily basis when he wasn't massacring Kurds and Shias or threatening to use the WMD he did his best to convince the entire world he had. That's like telling a cop you have illegal guns and drugs at your house and complaining when they subsequently raid it but don't find any.
Members of Congress from both US parties as well as the previous administration repeatedly said ever since the Gulf war ended that he was a huge danger to this country and needed to be taken out. Just because certain democrats have selective amnesia now doesn't change that.
If anything that tendancy toward amnesia proves to me that while he is certainly no Teddy Roosevelt, Bush was the best choice available at the time.
