Post Op-Ed: Bush Era Is Over

[DudeAsInCool]

End of the Bush Era

The Bush Era is over. The sooner politicians in both parties realize that, the better for them -- and the country.

Recent months, and especially the past two weeks, have brought home to a steadily growing majority of Americans the truth that President Bush's government doesn't work. His policies are failing, his approach to leadership is detached and self-indulgent, his way of politics has produced a divided, angry and dysfunctional public square. We dare not go on like this.

The Bush era only ends when he and his posse stop making laws and decisions.

As of now, all American citizens are under his control one way or another; whether they like it or not.

This is a nice feel good article for those who despise Bush (about 60% of the U.S. and 95% of the world), but it's empty; devoid of any meaning whatsoever.

On the grand scale, the American economy is dead in the water for two reasons:

1. No true progressive tax. Just a half assed one with a $90,000 cap. This of course comes from political corruptions spurred on by corporations and wealthy individuals (who are the real rulers of the United States).

2. The WTO, lax international labor rights, and no governmental limits to outsourcing.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out this is the meat of the problem. I think everybody (politicians) intentionally ignores it because they're in the pockets of multinational corporations (and because just enough of the voting base is stupid enough to not understand this, mainly rednecks and people attracted to secondary social issues like abortion and religion).

If these problems were solved, National Healthcare in the United States would be fundable, even when the government still blows billions on war materials.

True enough, but its interesting to see it in print. Bush will be in office for the next 200 days or so and we are stuck with him, like him or not. His only saving grace as far as Im concerned is Cheney - that is the fact that it could be a helluva lot worse...

I don't think it would have been any worse.

Bush doesn't make the decisions. He's just a figure head.

I'm betting Cheney, shadow figures, or both, are behind all the policy.

Now it can be told.....newly released documents have disclosed the brains behind the Bush political machine, It's not Dick, it's not Karl...behold the "Bush family" guiding mind:

[Excrement_Cranium]

I happen to like Bush.

He seems to be a nice fellow to kick in the nuts.
