Herr Bush's angst--no easy solutions

At the Rose Garden press conference yesterday [29 April 2008], Herr Bush with a grim express finally fessed up to the truth that for the ills plaguing America's economy there are no easy solutions. Herr Bush has been his own cheer leader for the economy and for his policies for the last 8 years. Never has he looked at America's problems with a square eye. Instead he has engaged in flummery and boosterism and pie in the sky pap. He blamed Congress for failing America; that accusation has some truth to it, but lion's share of blame falls fully on his shoulders. He has favoured his class of coupon clippers, blood suckers, croneys up and down the line, and the burden of his tax cuts are borne by everyone not equally mind you, who doesn't belong to that golden 1 per cent of the US population. Herr Bush has succeeded where not home grown variety of Communism or Socialism has dared to go if they could have. He has successfully emasculated in one degree or another the class structure in the US but for the super rich. Little wonder there are no easy solutions for the vast majority of Americans, the advantages are for Herr Bush's industrial, military, and venal elected friends.
