I never thought Bush had a pair, not since his flip-flop on being a fighter jet pilot.
Now, the lame duck President doesn't have the balls to handle a real recession.
With the recession no longer just the 'unspoken R word,' Bush wants an economic stimulus package. His 'package,' as the young women say this day and age, ain't BIG! Not BIG at all.
Before being sworn in as commander and thief in 2001, Bush and Cheney were using 'the R word' in public appearances to justify $1.4 TRILLION IN TAX CUTS!
Say it with me folks! ONE POINT FOUR TRILLION IN TAX CUTS!
That was 7 months before a recession, one month before being sworn in, and just days after winning the Presidency on a 'show of hands' vote by the Supreme Court.
What was the huge crisis looming before the country when Baby Bush wanted his trillion dollar tax cuts?
As I remember, the only crisis was the classic crisis of 'legitimacy' faced by the loser in the popular vote.
How was Bush going to 'run' the country having 'lost' the popular vote?
Well, the tax cuts were used to buy what he couldn't win at the polls. Popularity.
$1.4 trillion is a lot of money.
Now that our country has nearly $10 trillion in public debt, a melt down in the capital markets, a crash in housing, and a record foreclosure rate, what does our still unpopular Bush want to do?
Cut TAXES!
But ... not by trillions of dollars. Bush wants less than $150 billion in 'tax relief.' But, unlike 2001, he also wants, get this, an increase in food stamps and unemployment checks!
What a guy!
When he's on the way out of office, recessions can be prevented with a few food stamps and unemployment checks.
When he's on his way to eight years of illegitimate leadership, he printed money as fast as Charmin makes toilet paper.
Why did our nation need trillions of dollars in tax cuts and over 4 trillion in deficit spending 7 years ago to 'grow our economy' and now that we face the biggest financial crisis in our history, it's food stamp time?
Details from two sources with balls.
