Herbert: 'The Money Magnet'
Bob Herbert talks about how great it is to be the Fundraiser-in-Chief - and the effect he is having on us all.
But while these may be the best of times for George W., this is not such a great moment for America.Start anywhere. Tax cuts? Mr. Bush has behaved like a profligate parent who spends every dollar the family has accumulated, mortgages everything the family owns and maxes out every credit card he can get his hands on. At some point in this scenario the children and grandchildren will be left with nothing but a mountain of debt.
Jobs? More than three million private-sector jobs have been lost on this president's watch. People are staying out of work longer and the pay gains of the late 90's are being eroded. Time Magazine recently asked, "Why are American workers dying the death of a thousand pay cuts?"
Government services? Prepare to wave goodbye to Medicare and Social Security as you've known them. Right wingers have always wanted to cripple the government's social service programs and now they are racing toward achievement of that poisonous goal. With the president's tax cuts bankrupting the government, there will be no money left for meaningful support of even the most popular social programs.
The environment? Among other things, the Bush White House does not like global warming. So it just edits out, eliminates, erases important references to it in official government documents. Gas-guzzling S.U.V.'s are good. But in the Bush II White House, global warming as most scientists know it doesn't even exist.
We've got some waking up to do.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
Bush provoked 9-11.
Republicans better than Democrats on National Security?
That myth exploded with the first plane that hit the first World Trade Tower on Sept. 11.
Tell the Republican Congress that you don't support the mean spirited radical Republican agenda.
