(The Bushistas are totally without scruples. We must be sure that "honor and integrity" are truly restored to the White House in 2008, while throwing out the Republican Congress along the way in 2006!)

White House uses Katrina disaster to justify SS privatization

No joke - the White House is now trying to use the disaster on the Gulf Coast to justify its scheme to privatize Social Security. CongressDaily reports that Bush spokesman Trent Duffy "asserted that the vast spending that would be required to address the hurricane's impact adds to the need to change Social Security, which threatens to strain the budget in coming years." Right - because a plan that would cost trillions to implement, and deplete the retirement savings of millions will somehow help the tragic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

They never give up in the search to deliver public funds to their masters do they?

They can't do anything unless it's lying, cheating or stealing.

6. They're really desperate. Although, by that rationale we should pull out

Iraq ASAP, seeing the "vast spending" that is required to maintain US presence in Iraq. "Mission accomplished" in 2003, remember?
