Is Bush really the source of all America's problems or are some people just too lazy or stupid to deal with

Question

the real problems facing our great country?

Answer 1

the latter. just look at some of the quetions and answers. i swear nobody knows the definitions of most of the terms being thrown around here.

Answer 2

You have got a little bit of A and a little bit of B. You have a leader who really doesn't give two craps about the standards of living in the nation, however you have an apathetic public who won't get off their asses and ask why? Or even cast a vote.

So while people continue to not care, you will have administrators that can get away with not taking care of education, infrastructure, economic growth and development, social spending, environmental initiatives, heath and well being of it's nation citizens..etc.. and work on their own agenda.

Answer 3

Um, the first one (Im too lazy and stupid to answer this well)

Nahhhh, I feel a rant coming on....

The problems you refer to, would some of them be:

1. The exploding National deficit? Bush had a surplus when he took office, now we have a 7 TRILLION dollar deficit. If Ronald Reagan was alive today he would kick Dubya's butt for being so reckless and wasteful with taxpayer funds. Dick Cheney has said "There's no such thing as a deficit". YOU try spending more money than you earn, it wont last very long and then you have years of hard life, trying to pay down that debt.
2. Soldiers' family having to apply for Welfare and Food Stamps, because Military pay and benefits don't begin to cover living expenses? A soldier with a wife and 2 kids makes MUCH less than the $5.15 an hour minimum wage, set up to protect Mexcians mowing lawns, but which does nothing for those fighting and dying in defense of this great country. That is also Bush's doing. He has cut funds for soldiers' salary and benefits 4 times in 6 years. As a vet I try to keep myself involved in Veteran's affairs, but will never see the inside of a VA hospital because of these giant cuts. Do some research (unless of course, you're too "stupid and lazy")
3. How about the problem of hard working Americans paying into pension funds which arent there anymore? While corporations make billions a year outsourcing employment to East Indians and Mexicans for 1/50th what Americans would demand to do the same work? Hmm this is starting to sound familiar isnt it?
4. How about Social Security? 6 years after Bush's promises to "fix" SSI, has ANYTHING been done about it?
5. Universal Health Care- Sure let's just call it "Socialized Medicine"- whatever name works, as long as my Grandmother doesn''t have to choose between eating and buying medicine.
6. Enron, Worldcom, Halliburton, etc etc etc. Nuff said. Where is all that money and when will it be returned to the people it belongs to, Mr. Bush?
7. Osama Bin Laden- still out there, and Bush has stated publically he doesnt know where Bin Laden is, nor does he especially care. Ths,s from the man who said repeatedly, he would "smoke him outa his cave". Has'nt happened yet. This is just the new millenium's verison of "No New Taxes", then tax the hell outa people. BUT MARK MY WORDS- Bin laden will be "caught" JUST before the next Presidential elections. That's where Bush screwed up this last midterm election. Had the soldiers fouind Saddam Hussein just before these last elections, no Democrat would have been elected.
8. Homeland Security- What a joke. This seems to consist of wearing paper slippers at airports. Our borders are no more secure now than they were 6 years ago. But you watch. Next election the Reps will be screaming SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY. Wise up: There IS no real security (and NO President can make us secure by pissing off the rest of the world), and eroding our civil liberties in the name of "making us safer" makes zero sense. Every time we stand in an airport line with those stupid paper shoes on, Al-Quaida laughs at us.
9. The rich get richer, the poor starve, but HEY! They can always join the military if they want to eat, right? Yeah let's keep cutting taxes on the rich (especially Big Oil) so we can continue to pay $3.00 a gallon for gas, while Big Oil makes billions of dollars every quarter. GREAT STRATEGY (for turning us into a country of bus riders)

I especially enjoy your opinion about people being "too lazy and stupid"- this must be more of that "Compassionate Conservatism" we've all heard so much about (but never saw again after the elections). You and I both know, the only reason you still defend the Commander in Thief is because he and Cheney made all Republicans look like fools, but you cannot admit that, so you attack Dems.

Answer 4

We do live in a country with a 3 way balance of power. So my answer would be: Yes, if people are still blaming the president alone, then they must be stupid. Truth is they are afraid.

Answer 5

There are a plague of problems in this country, I think Bush is just one of the many...and the one with the most media coverage.

Answer 6

There's just a bunch out there who psychologically have still not gotten over the fact that President Bush beat Al Gore in 2000 and they want to just blame him for everything that wrong because somehow, in their pointy little heads, it justifies their outrage. They all need psychotherapy.

Answer 7

He's the source of every problem that comes from his decidering.

And what would those 'real problems' be, anyway?

Answer 8

No and yes

Answer 9

He has fired everyone around him, that speaks for itself
