bush roundup

deficit: bush buried a report by the treasury which "predicted a budget deficit of over $44,000bn and called for tax rises." he then signed a bill which increased the public debt limit from $6.4 trillion to $7.384 trillion and issued a one sentence press release on the subject. canada's prime minister, jean chrétien, chimed in, saying "the americans will have a deficit of $500-billion this year [...] if we were to equal that, it would be a $75-billion deficit because we're 10 times smaller. imagine!" bush then signed the third-biggest tax cut in u.s. history into law, which shafts the nation's poor and helps not just the rich, but specifically, most of congress.

wmd: lies, lies & more lies. yeah, they found wmd... in maryland! and how 'bout these trucks? is the cia for real? how can we believe them, of all people? like, how do we know the truck wasn't driven into iraq from one of its neighboring countries which might happen to be one of our allies? allies like uzbekistan, whose president recently said that he'd rip the head of his own child in order to keep order in his republic, and who has reportedly boiled imprisoned political dissidents to death. didn't we go after saddam for killing his own people? oh, right... we helped him do it.
