George W. Bush: Would You Hire This Man To Run Your Company?
By James Boyne
What Bush Hasn't Done"
I'm getting weary of hearing from Bush what he will do in the next four years. I am more interested in what he has or has not done in the last four years. Actions speak a lot louder than words. George Bush has already been President of the United States of America for the past four years. He is campaigning as if he is the challenger rather than the incumbent. He is jumping around from state to state talking about what he WILL DO. What has he done about the major issues that face our country? Here is my understanding of what the President has accomplished. Would you hire this man to run your company?
Problem: 50 million Americans with no health insurance.
Bush's solution: Nothing Done
Problem: 9 million Americans counted as unemployed.
Bush's solution: Nothing Done
Problem: 11 million Americans not counted but unemployed.
Bush's solution: None
Problem: New trend of outsourcing millions of good American jobs to overseas ( China , India , Philippines , Japan , etc).
Bush's solution: Supports Outsourcing. No solution needed. Claims the more jobs that are shipped overseas the better it is for America .
Problem: 3 million illegal immigrants streaming over into California , Arizona , Texas and New Mexico every year.
Bush's solution: None
Problem: $500 billion deficit.
Bush's solution: Give $350 billion back to taxpayers to stimulate the economy.
Result on economy: $500 billion deficit (same as problem)
Problem: 9/11 Attack by Osama Bin Laden.
Bush's solution: Attack Afghanistan with 15,000 American troops to capture Osama Bin Laden.
Result: Bin Laden still at large after 3 years with a $50 million bounty on his head. Bin Laden's means of escape---a donkey. Bin Laden's disguise---a white robe. Bin Laden's hiding place---a tent.
Problem: Weapons of Mass Destruction in hands of Saddam Hussein.
Bush's solution: Attack Iraq with 150,000 American troops and $300 billion to liberate Iraq and find WMD.
Result: Saddam captured. WMD didn't exist. Iraqi's refuse to be liberated. Terrorists flock to Iraq from around the Arab world. 1000 American troops killed in glorious combat against a 7th century Islamic religious theocracy/totalitarian dictatorship.
Problem: Gay marriages threaten to wreck havoc on the very fabric of American society.
Bush's solution: Constitutional Amendment proposed banning gay marriages.
Result: Far Right Wing Conservatives declare moral victory. Several Congressmen in 2006 lobby for Constitutional Amendment banning divorce. Congress takes up issue.
Problem: Availability of Dangerous Assault Weapons.
Bush's solution: No solution needed.
Result: Availability of Dangerous Assault Weapons as our Second Amendment Right is affirmed.
Problem: Big Federal Giveaway Programs.
Bush's solution: Bush stands on street corner and hands out $350 billion to the poor and rich alike, in one year alone. Wants to make it a permanent yearly event---like the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt.
Purpose: Vote getter.
Result of $350 billion on recipients---Unknown. Results on Economy---$350 billion added to annual deficit without a single Big Federal Giveaway Program.
Problem: Small Businesses Unable to Afford Health Insurance for Employees.
Bush's Solution: Small Business should huddle together (or band together) and beg multi-national insurance giants for a better deal.
Result: Laughable
Problem: Health Insurance Premiums Increased 60% since President Bush took office. Solution: None
Results: Premiums continue to increase 15-20% annually until they become unaffordable to all.
Long Term Results: All employers drop employee Group Health Coverage.
Ramifications: Multi-National Insurance Corporations drop health insurance coverage altogether and move all other insurance administrative operations overseas to India and China . 210 million American uninsured. 40 million Americans declare bankruptcy. Health care collapses. Conservative Republicans claim health care is against God's will and that only prayer can save us. People in poor health are declared "sinners". Bush re-elected for a 3rd term after new World Trade Center is attacked by terrorists. President claims we are getting safer. Osama Bin Laden found to have died of old age, under an assumed name, at nursing home in Florida .
Problem: Prescription Drug Prices Soar
Bush's Solution: Prevent frail, sickly, senior citizens from ordering American drugs from Canada at half price. $550 billion given to pharmaceutical companies for non-negotiated drug prices to insure drug companies maintain their hold over America 's seniors in need of prescription drugs.
Problem: Doctor's Malpractice Insurance Premiums Soar
Bush's Solution: Take away the rights of injured Americans to be represented in a Court of Law by declaring all litigation brought by individuals to be "junk and frivolous".
Problem: Gasoline increases from $1 a gallon to $2 a gallon since Bush took office. Reaches $4 a gallon by 2006.
Solution: None
Results: America dependent on unfriendly Arab nations for the foreseeable future. Gas could spike at $5 a gallon within next four years. Bush claims it is due to the manipulation of the supply of oil by "liberal Democrats".
Problem: 350,000 new unemployment claims filed every month.
Bush's Solution: Unemployed should return to their local Community College and learn math and science for the new world economy. Where is the new world economy? India , China , the Philippines , Mexico , Central America and Eastern Europe . Prepare to travel.
Problem: $50 billion in counterfeit American branded products criminally manufactured in Communist China and exported from Communist China.
Bush's Solution: Prohibit travel to Communist Cuba.
Problem: World Terrorism and hatred of the United States .
Bush's Solution: "Bring 'em on".
Problem: How to get re-elected?
Solution: Say anything you have to. You can fool some of the people all of the time.
