Convention rapid response retorts:VAcut:cops refuse Guiliani:"they own us"
bush cut VA, 12% per patient.
sure, he upped funds forty percent, but patients increased sixty percent.

If i recall right, it was right at the Madison S. Garden, where Guiliani's brutal order years ago, to clear the Garden of homeless, resulted in the cops disobeying the order. One said "they're people too. You cant treat humans like this."

bush's "Ownership society" trick. Just reply,

"they own us".

Variations... bankers own us, the boss owns us, ...landlords, doctors, bill collectors own us.

Of the five points in his ownership speech, only one is about owning anything... stolen from the dems... a subsidiy tax break to help with home ownership.
Probably, their version will help one percent as many as a dem version.

the rest are basically "gamble with your money" in

1.the stock market...

2.a savings account which folks will pull out of, first crisis they face, despite any penalties. Ending up with nothing saved up for retirement, home, or doctors.

His REAL goal is in his Budget... another 1/4 million thrown out to live on a piece of sidewalk, where they die at 3X the normal rate....another 1/3 million hungry... due to more budget cuts. {check my numbers on that, hungry figure seems fuzzy in memory}

How can we be a beacon to the world when the world sees our people hungry and homeless? They dont want to copy that.

Jobs: your job CAN be sent to the slums of India. {bush team gives tax breaks to companies outsoursing}
