Throughout Bush’s professional life, he has ran companies into the ground and relied upon others to bail him out. Well his new business, The United States of America, is no different. He now expects the Democrats to bail his ass out on his failed fiscal policies:
When he takes the House rostrum next week for the State of the Union address, President Bush will list among his goals a balanced federal budget, a shift for a president who has presided over record deficits while aggressively cutting taxes.
Politically, analysts say, the president is calling the bluff of Democrats, who won control of Congress in part by accusing Bush of reckless fiscal policies. While Bush now shares the Democrats’ goal to erase the deficit by 2012, the politically perilous work of making that happen — cutting spending or raising taxes — falls to the Democratic-run Congress.
“The Democrats have assailed deficits under President Bush. The White House is telling Democrats to walk the walk,” said Brian M. Riedl, a budget analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Budget experts and economists from across the political spectrum, including some who worked in the Bush White House, say that Bush is unlikely to offer real concessions toward a balanced budget in the plan he delivers to Congress next month.
Last week Congress passed a bill requiring the federal government to negotiate for lower drug prices on Medicare. Bush already said he is going to veto this bill. So the Democrats try something to not only save seniors money, but also the government and Bush won’t allow it.
This is even further proof that Bush wants to keep everything as partisan as possible. Under the Republicans, pork barrel spending was at a record high and Bush ignored it. This sorry sack of monkey shit really needs to grow up. The American people are not idiots – proof lies in his approval ratings and the sweep last November. We now what he did and his Republican party and we don’t want it anymore.
Hey George – we don’t have to wait on history. The verdict is in and you are the biggest moron to ever occupy the White House. Perhaps we should make you the poster child for birth control and abortion!
