I've been ranting about Bush's "administrative-incompetence" and "criminal-negligence" for months!! Today, the P.B.S. show "The Mclaughlin Group" reinforced my long-held beliefs. Speaking of the Republican's myriad woes, Mclaughlin referred to their "Rampant Dysfunctionality". While they control most of the government, they STILL blame their failures on "Partisanship" and "those obstructionist Democrats"!! Even Alan Greenspan has recently warned of dire economic consequences, lest we address the MASSIVE deficits ammassed by Bush's incompetance. Colin Powell has sided with three Republican-Senators, who have had the backbone to question the nomination of the "loose cannon" Bolton. (a lot like "rats leaving a sinking ship".)?? The "smoke & mirrors" of this administration cannot be sustained; a "house of cards" will eventually collapse, and The Republican's incredibly inept management of our nation will soon become evident to all Americans. The latest figures regarding "Health-Care" in America are directly related to the disasterous "Profit & Loss" predictions by General Motors. (G.M. has experienced MASSIVE losses in the past year, and is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy) It has now been found that "Health-Care" costs of American auto-workers adds an average $1700 to the cost of EVERY AMERICAN-MADE CAR!! Compare this to the $150.00 of Canadian, or Japanese auto-workers, it is obvious that American auto-workers are soon to be extinct. (Japan and Canada have free, "socialized" medicine) We can soon expect ALL of the "American" autos to be made in India, or China!! When a "crime" is comitted, it is wise to "follow the money". The "Money" in this case, leads DIRECTLY TO THE WHITE HOUSE! Guess who receives MASSIVE donations from the "Health-Care Industry"??? "Dumb-Ass-Dubyuh"... that's who!! Recent stats. have shown that WALMART is the one of the LARGEST "Trade-Partners" of China... Walmart buys more Chinese goods than most countries., while sucking the "life-blood" out of every small-business where they invade. What happens to Walmart, when the jobless Americans can no-longer afford to buy their cheap, Chinese crap???? For every "Minimum-wage" job created by Walmart, they destroy dozens of American manufacturing and retailing jobs. A recent attempt to block a new Walmart "Super Center" in Albuquerque was defeated; although scores of people protested, and despite the exictence of THREE "Super-Centers" WITHIN THREE MILES OF THE NEW STORE!!! I suppose, when gasoline prices reach $5.00 per gallon, we will need "Super-Centers" within "walking-distance".... as local-merchants will be long-gone, and no-one can afford to drive.............
