Does GW Bush or any of his fellow Republican filth have ANY plan to save the plummeting dollar?

[Angry Mollusk]

GW Bush's reaction to the plunging value of the US dollar was denial- he said 'the dollar is strong'.
Pardon my language- but when will this guy ever get his head out of his ass-Does Bush, Mccain or any other Republican scumbag have any plan-or desire to try and revitalize the dollar?

A local right wing radio host is blaming the devaluation of the dollar on....you guessed it....BILL CLINTON.
Bush has been in office since 2000, and he gets full blame in my book for the mess of the last 8 years.

1. Heard Cheney put a lot of his money into Euros a couple years ago

[mac2]

4. Yet another fact that is proof he and Bush

are out to destroy our dollar and economy so their Empire can rule. They want us 3rd world. It is treason.

[rurallib]

30. they want cheap labor for their buds.

[HereSince1628]

2. Don't you know Bush is trying to bring jobs back to the US?

As soon as American workers earn less than Indian workers jobs will be flooding in, flooding in I tell you, the world will not have seen such a cascade since the filling of the Black Sea basin.

[indepat]

3. junior's plan for the economy, the dollar, the standard of living and for oil, empire and hegemony

were put in full operation in January of 2001. The fruit of all his extreme RW PNAC agenda has ripened for all us to see and smell. :D

Edited to correct date

[zbdent]

5. tax cuts for the oil companies?

and for the businesses which are "based" in that two-story building in the Caymans?

[sinkingfeeling]

6. When Clinton left office the Euro was worth $.9376. Today, it takes $1.53 to buy an Euro.

[Angry Mollusk]

7. Why does Bush assert 'The dollar is strong'

when it's crystal clear it's value has plummeted?? Is he blind???????

[mac2]

11. Then why did Cheney buy Euros? The world is demanding

payment in Euros because our dollar has nothing behind it but "Bush marsh gas". They don't like us either so why would they want dollars? Bush has weakened everything American.

Impeach him now.

[bdamomma]

12. he only hears what he wants to hear, he is delusional and psychotic

it is the way he interprets things, he is not a well man. Plus he only sees in black and white, no grey area whatsoever.

and as far as our dollar, no country wants dollars anymore.

[mac2]

26. No he's insane

[mac2]

38. Because he's a liar.

Orwellain message since before he was President. He is "lying lips" son of "lying lips" George Bush II.

[Greyhound]

8. Why would they have a plan for this, they destroyed it on purpose.

This is their game plan and has been since the 19th century.

[mac2]

34. Good job Georgie.

[madrchsod]

9. why would they care?

[mac2]

13. Yes their gold is stashed in off-shore British banks.

Gold stolen from us by the Bush World Crime gang (911 WTC, Silverado Savings, Iran bags of plunder, Halliburton, Carlyle, drugs, etc.).

The Bush family hate us because we put them out of office (and they deserved it) and made fun of them. Cheney's been mad since we kicked Nixon off his royal throne.

Why would they attack us? Stand down on 911 and allow our Pentagon to be attacked? Allow NY City to be polluted and many die from that? Allow the citizens in New Orleans to drown in flood waters, go without food or water...steal their homes and land? Die on foreign soil for a lie? Become homeless and broke for illegal wars? Pay mercinaries more than our own soldiers with our tax dollars? Move their war machine to Dubai? Buy up land in Paraguay and have us protect them?

They hate us and are out to destroy us. I know an enemy of democracy and America when I see them. Why doesn't our Congress and the media see this treason and danger to us?

VP Cheney is at the Great Lakes Naval Training base today outside Chicago. What does he have planned for us now? Why is he allowed to stick his nose in defense? It is impeachable since he has no training or knowlege. He was not elected to do so. Anyone who thinks he's not President or King? Maybe Fascist dictator?

[bdamomma]

16. yes, you are spot on, with your comment.

this is very much a class war, can it be any clearer. It is us against them, and do not look for any savior to come to our rescue either.

[trusty elf]

10. It's "fecal" rather than "fiscal" policy, isn't it?!

[mac2]

14. So ugly it's funny

[librechik]

15. No they plan to talk about a strong $ while helping their banker friends

with interest cuts, counting on the obvious fact the average shmoe doesn't understand the connection.

[mac2]

17. Once again a bailout for banks like the Savings & Loan one?

Huge amounts of money and power shifted from the North to the South with those bailouts (during Bush "lying lips" I). That's how the South took power from the "liberal" North.

[librechik]

19. more or less--except the banks are more in the East--the Far East.

[mac2]

20. I heard the International banks are now in London.

They moved from China when the Brits turned it over to China. I see what you are saying though. China has our money and jobs.

[librechik]

21. exactly--it's so hard to keep up with which foreign power owns us

but nobody (who could do anything) is serious about getting us out of their clutches. Just in feathering their own nests.

[mac2]

25. Mostly the Brits (Canadians) and Spain..

The EU is profitting off us. They aren't broke from the wars. We should get out of NAFTA now and bring in tariffs.

[bdamomma]

18. their arrogance and ignorance is stunning

I find them highly insulting to the American people to those who are clear thinkers like us, doesn't that bug anyone?

[Orsino]

22. Or anyone else in Congress?

Where the hell are our fighting Dems?

[Wizard777]

23. No, they got all their big pay days in before the plummet. Now fixing the dollar

would be asking them to reduce their purchasing power. Not gonna happen.

[alfredo]

24. No, they want a crisis that they can exploit. Read "The Shock Doctrine"

by Naomi Klein.

[mac2]

39. I agree..

power by constant chaos (as Leo Strauss as you can get).

[alfredo]

40. Democrats look to Jefferson, Republicans, look to Leo Strauss and Milton

Friedman.

[Winterblues]

27. It is impossible for Bush* or the Republicans to save the dollar as they caused it's decline

It is the lack of integrity that has caused the decline. America can no longer be trusted..

[mac2]

32. Bush started talking down the economy BEFORE he

stole power. He was out to ruin us. Why didn't people panic over that and not vote for him?

It amazes me how Americans just can't get a grip on trade and the economy. Why not do some reading instead of believing a Presidential candidate who is son of "Lying, stealing lips" GH Bush? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Fact is the whole tree (Bush gang) is rotten.

[leftofthedial]

28. they don't care

at all

this country and its people are irrelevant to them.

[Angry Mollusk]

29. So much for Republican 'fiscal responsibility'

How can Republicans have the right to claim to be 'fiscally conservative' when the value of the dollar plummets on Bush's watch, and all they don't seem to care?

[sun zoom spark]

31. The "W" recession: DOWN, UP, DOWN before the general election

When is a recession not called a recession? As long as W is in office. When will it be called a recession? January 20, 2009 when a Democrat is in the WH.

[mac2]

33. Just like his father he will leave Democrats to pick up the

mess. If we/they can do it at all this time around.

Bush will leave office with his union all but in place. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights negated our treasury gone. The world hates us. He leaves with his bag of gold and pillage after eight years of office and war. And yet we must give him a pension and protect him? What madness.

We will once again be told to sacrifice and work hard, etc. Nope...this time Congress should do that. We warned and begged them but they ignored us. They don't take the blame but talk about "terrorists" instead.

[timtom]

35. The plummeting dollar IS their plan!

[mac2]

37. Right.

Impeach the crooks and traitors.

[HughBeaumont]

36. Usually, a question that starts off with . . .

"Does GW Bush or any of his fellow Republican filth have ANY plan to . . . ", when talking about curing this country's ills, that answer would be "no".

[SoCalDem]

41. Hell NO.. they cleaned out the cashbox & stole all the money

why should they care now..as they head for the getaway car..

[Retrograde]

42. don't you first have to admit you have a problem?

We're talking about the guy who was recently amazed that gas was approaching $4/gal. MBA or not, I don't think he understands economics.
