“The bottom line is that the left NEEDS to DEFINE a large portion of Americans as “poor” to continue to push their socialist agenda.”
That is completely true yet for the last six and a half years the Bush administration has been in charge of the US Bureau of the Census which collects poverty data and which publishes the annual reports on poverty and the Bush administration has done nothing to change public perception of poverty and it has increased federal funding to poverty programs.
The largest expansion of publically funded health care since LBJ is the new Medicare Part D program, passed by a Republican congress and signed into law at a cost to taxpayers of $43 billion per year by a Republican President.
I wish Republicans weren’t aiding the socialist agenda.
Aside from the war on terror and (hopefully) his two SCOTUS appointments, GWB has been a disappointment.
