Of All the Stupid Things Bush Has Said

This one takes the cake.

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.”

You’d think we could have at least waited for the Annointed One to take office before becoming a Socialist State with an out of control Executive.

Gee thanks, George, for the swell legacy. I’m sorry I ever defended you, you dimwit.

Merry Christmas

We’re broke.

The United States of America is bankrupt. Don’t believe it? Consider this: Federal obligations now exceed the collective net worth of all Americans, according to the New York-based Peter G. Peterson Foundation. Washington politicians and bureaucrats have essentially mortgaged everything We the People own so they can keep spending our tax dollars like there’s no tomorrow.
The foundation’s grim calculations are based on Sept. 30 consolidated federal statements, which showed that Americans’ total household net worth, diminished by falling stock prices and home equity, is $56.5 trillion. But rising costs for unfunded social programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security increased to $56.4 trillion – and that was before the more recent stock market crash, $700 billion bank bailout, and monster federal deficits chalked up in October and November.

Are you a “denier”? Then your name belongs on a list.

With mine. (See if you can spot it.)
