Why is bush* spending $10 billion/month in Iraq?

[last1standing]

Also:

Why is bush* pushing so hard for the Strategic Defense Initiative when it has not only been proved not to work but would replace a far more efficient and less expensive method of intercepting missiles?

Why has bush* outsourced so much of our military operations to mercenary groups like Blackwater when a U.S. soldier can do the same work for as little as 1/20th of the cost?

Why did the laizzez faire capitalist, bush* support the $700 billion bailout of the financial sector, but only on condition of little oversight or regulation?

Why does the bush* that supported the financial sector bailout refuse to allow a mere $25 billion of that $700 billion go to protecting jobs in the industrial sector that provides many more jobs?

Why has bush* worked to remove all measures designed to keep jobs from flowing overseas?

Why is bush* pushing for CAFTA agreements with Columbia at the same time he resists measures that would bolster wages and safety for that country?

Why did bush* let New Orleans and Galveston sink with little help?

Why does bush* resist any efforts to improve our infrastructure?

Why did bush* support a medicare prescription reform bill that provides less coverage but costs billions more than before?

Why has bush* tried to move Social Security benefits into the stock market for years?

I think that each of these questions can be explained with a variety of answers, but when you look at the bush* legacy it all points to one conclusion.

So I'm asking, what do each of these questions have in common? Why is bush* an Invisible Hand Capitalist one moment and a May Day Socialist, the next?

And a last question. Do you think that perhaps this was all planned from the beginning?

1. So his cronies can pocket most of that money for themselves.

The profit margin on fixing infrastructure isn't good enough for these thieves. That's why they get those no-bid defense contracts.

2. He is putting all the taxpayer money he can into his and his cronies' pocket until he has to stop

on 1/20..

3. He only cares for those in his social class.

[old mark]

4. Because he wants to completely fuck up the country

before he leaves to pay us all back for not liking him for fucking up the country.
Hitler, hiding in the bunker in 1945, blamed the German people for losing WWII - he felt they were not worthy of his genius and that his brilliand ideas had failed because the people had not give enough of themselves to carry those ideas out.

This sound very familiar to me at this moment. Right George?

5. Cuz Uncle Dick told him to.

6. Well, he was true to his word...

he took great care of his base. The bastard.

7. WHY AREN'T DEMS DEMANDING THAT BUSH PAY FOR HIS WAR, NOW??

It seems like Dems are wasting a good opportunity to really put the screws on Hitlerian Bush and his treasonous regime for that stupid war. If they wait for January 20 to come, people will then blame Dems for tax increases and for all the waste.

Let's force that treasonous crook to pay TODAY!

8. The * Crime Family are bank robbers and con men

Somehow they have convinced the American people that they are statesmen. Everywhere they go graft, and grift follow. If you look back upon their various adventures you can see that it has always been a confidence game. They use the same playbook, and the same set of players (or children thereof) every time. Emergency measures, unusual unforeseeable circumstances, gross negligence, outrageous incompetence, horrible disasters and unimaginable human suffering - this is where they've made their fortune. They thrive on misery so much I begin to wonder if they don't need it to survive, like some kind of bizarre vampire. I actually find it very strange that people don't catch on - they must have put something in the water.

9. Because he is a fascist that is determined to destroy the democratic government of

the US.

[Thothmes]

10. Because the House of Representatives of the United States

authorized the expenditures. Because the Senate of the United States concured with the House action and also authorized the expenditures. Bush could not have spent one red cent if the bastards in the House and the Senate had done their duty and said "enought". They are as guilty of war crimes and treason as anyone in the current administration.
