Idiot in Charge
The AP reports. Responding to reporters' questions about the falling dollar and the ever growing trade deficit, "Bush told reporters that the trade deficit was 'easy to resolve. People can buy more United States products if they're worried about the trade deficit.'" This is the same guy who proposes to "fix" Social Security by borrowing trillions of dollars, making his tax cut permanent, and other silliness and yet can say with a straight face that his "administration's efforts to support the dollar by reducing government borrowing levels would address the unfunded liabilities in the government's huge entitlement programs, Social Security and Medicare." So it looks like we have self-imposed IMF shock therapy headed our way. Don't worry about the poor, the uneducated, the sick...the faith-based groups will take care of them just like they did in the 1930's.
