Sounds to me most people here are looking for Government to bail them out again. Blame Bush if it helps you sleep at night. I will blame congress for the big spending, we do hold congress. But I will not look for Bush to bail me out.
The only way a speech would work if some people here and the Demorats do not undermind everything he say's.
Sounds to me most people here are looking for Government to bail them out again. No. Most people here are looking for the gov't to leave us the hell alone, and for the Republican party to follow their written (and rhetorical) platform and reduce both spending and taxes.

Is the President (who has a 75% approval rating) so weak that "some people" on an internet forum can undermine his agenda? Or even the democratic Senate (which has many members from states which Bush won with a 10%+ margin)? We don't need the consent of 50 democratic Senators-- only a handful. Perhaps the President should start working with the John Breaux's of the Senate instead of the Ted Kennedy's.
Anyway, I'm just not talking about making a speech and stopping there. I'm talking about mounting an aggressive campaign to get major tax cuts enacted. It starts with a speech.
If it passes the Senate (with the help of moderate democrats), then the economy can begin a recovery. If the democrats block it in the Senate, it will make a great campaign issue for the GOP. The dems will be griping about "corporate corruption", while the GOP is advancing an agenda to revive the economy. The GOP will likely win the Senate as a result, AND they will have a mandate to pass the tax cut.
Yes, congress does take a long time to get a bill out and they add so many porkers and ludicrous money handouts. But if the president is waiting for his bill to help stimulate the economy ( for instance) and more unreasonable bills get put in then if he vetos, the economic stimulus is at a stalemate.
No, no one ever holds congress responsible for going over the budget. President Bush is still waiting for bills that the house passed and the senate is still on hold with them.
I do not hold the president responsible for the actions of the crooked corporations. I do expect him to clean house and I agree with those here the sooner the better.
We have all known for many years that the corporations and the wealthy have loopholes in the law that lets them pay no taxes or fudge with the numbers. I hold responsible whoever oversees these corporations--if this is the SEC then does the SEC oversee every year or when?
If I come into office in 2001 and the corporations are doing their thing, at what time was their malfeasance taking place--in the prior administration (and I am not looking to fault Clinton) but I want to know were these corrupt companies doing this for a long time or did they just start or did finally someone just catch them.
Anyone know the true story?
