Torn

I am torn between wanting to see “w” get another term and face the consequences of all he has brought down on this country in the last four years or actually seeing Kerry in office who I believe will honestly work to improve conditions for all Americans. Bush has done so much harm to every facet of our economy, culture and standing in world affairs that I feel it is his just reward to reap what he has sown. Our next few presidents will have to work hard to clean up the catastrophe that “w” has left our country in much the same way Clinton did after twelve years of Reagan/Bush. The “spend and borrow credit card” mentality of “w” leaves all the pain and payments to future generations and none of Bush’s’ plans will reverse the downward course we are on. “w” thinks we can have two wars, huge tax cuts with no spending cuts to balance the books. He took the largest surplus in history created by Clinton and created the largest deficit ever. Millions have lost good jobs and more have no insurance. The stock market is lower than it was four years ago. We are hated by the world and are less secure today than when he took office. More terrorism has occurred during the last four years than at any time in history. He allowed the conditions which led to 911 and has no plan to change his wrong headed war against a country that did not attack us on 911 and Osama Bin Laden is still at large. Bush and his people make no secret about their intention to bankrupt the Treasury so they can eliminate Social Security, Medicare and other programs they have fought against over the years that serve working America. So don’t be surprised when the budgetary bubble bursts and working America is left with no safety net. Yes, I think the best punishment for “w” would be to make him face the results of his and Dick Cheney’s “Major League Cash Hole” decisions over the next four years. The perfect example is how state and private employees have continuously had to accept weaker and weaker medical insurance and benefit programs. Get used to this because all pay and benefits are headed in the same direction and “w” will try to make you feel grateful to have any benefits at all. After all, workers in China have no benefits and we need to be competitive. If you complain you are unpatriotic. Conservatives say, Hey Liberal, Love it or Leave it. “w” has no one to blame but himself and his Republican counterparts in the Senate, House and Supreme Court. They control it all and have created the hole we find ourselves in. I know “w” never admits mistakes nor does anything wrong because he falsely believes God tells him what to do but the facts tell a far different story. Many gullible people have fallen for his lies and are ignoring the reality of the results of his policies on the future. So who ever is unlucky enough to win the prize in November will have to face the harsh reality of dealing with the failures of the last four years. You might get a $200 tax cut and a $200 trillion debt you and your kids can pay off for the rest of your life after being outsourced from you good job at an early age so you can work part time at a fast food joint or Wal-Mart for no benefits until the day you die. The ultimate moral question for our time is what kind of world we leave to our children. For this immoral administration the answer is only endless debt, reduced liberties, WAR and diminished expectations. Enjoy!
