Bush's tantrum budget

Looks like Kim Jong-Il is not the only leader who threatens people to get attention...

President Bush announced his new budget plans recently and it will put the country into a $3.1 trillion debt for the year 2009 alone. Cuts from domestic programs would increase and spending for the Iraqi conflict would sky-rocket. However, Bush claims his budget is sound and will work for the American people.

OH BOTHER, he has NO idea what an average American person is. I doubt he has never sat down and talked to one. The fact that he thinks he can purpose preposterous budgets like this one and get away with it is so laughable that its pathetic. He is a lame-duck president, pure and simple. And if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would not stand for his budget last year, what makes Bush think he will be able to get this stinker past her this year? Not a chance.

After eight years of economic and political hell, the psycho we cannot wait to be gone is testing us with his stupidity once again. The attention is on the presidential race and he knows it. He purposed such a stupid budget so we would look at him and say "HUH?!", whilst writing biased news reports on how he plans to rip away every single dollar the working man makes and make it work for HIM (and his cronies) only.

His plan is not going to work. We're on to his little game. There is no way we will stand with such a significant debt. We already have a bill that is a gazillion miles long--why would we need another one? Besides the fact, he has purposely cut budgets from domestic programs until the year 2012. I know he did that so the next president will get the blame when everything goes to hell. He is hoping this time next year we will forget what Bush purposed and instead blame the new president for our woes. But like I said, it is not going to happen. We won't let it happen!

There are more holes in Bush's budget then there are in his brain and he knows it. He should realize that he is going to be living from the aftermath of this budget once he leaves office. Too bad the domestic program he did not purpose to cut was the continued salary and Secret Service support he will receive when he leaves office next year. Now that is what should be cut! Not services for the poor and non-profit groups who help the needy. Not health benefits to VA hospitals. (especially since he neglicts to understand the reason why the VA health system needs so much money is so they can treat the men and women who risked their lives in Iraq for his own agenda and LIES) And not Medicade.

In our time of need, we need to have money distributed back to the people of the US. Not to Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, etc. We are needier than they are. We can barely afford to pay our mortgages and rent; our electricity bills; for the gasoline it takes to fill up the cars we need to get around because public transport is shit; or for our food. Middle America, and the lower America that is so often neglected, is getting kicked in the face by this budget. Our country cannot afford to abide by this budget given the crisis we are in thanks to him. President Bush needs to realize this. Thankfully, the Congress does and hopefully they will be able to do something to stop this monstrosity from being released on the American people.
