Bush State of the Union Mess
                   By Jeff Goolsby, Editor
      According to his own admission, math was fuzzy to President Bush while he was boozing and snoozing his way through his education process.  His State of the Union speech last night showed that everything else is fuzzy to him plus being extremely deceptive.
      Mr. Bush's corporate crony contributors are obviously very happy because Mr. Bush's deliberate destruction of the economy has destroyed many of their competitors.  But, our economy is good only when everyone can get a job who wants a job, not because the "Fat Cats" are getting richer faster.
      The Bush depression was caused mostly because of two major reasons.  One, Mr. Bush refused my suggestion to place military guards on commercial airline flights when the 911 terrorist attack occurred instead of waiting 14 months while training air marshals.  This caused fear of flying to virtually bankrupt the airline industry and lost approximately 1,500,000 jobs.
      Two, the merger mania spree created by the 1998 Republican Congress repealing the Democratic anti-monopolistic law.  This repeal caused crooked corporate executives in large public corporations to commence announcing false income reports to inflate their stock prices to gain extra money to merge or buy smaller corporations.  This caused many corporate bankruptcies and approximately 1,500,000 job losses.
      Our tax money paid $333,000,000 ($333 billion, a major reason for higher taxes.) interest on the 2002 Federal debt, which was almost the same as national defense and Social Security retirement payments.  The interest cost was slightly lower for 2003 because Mr. Bush was keeping interest rates low so that home refinancing and home building would put a huge amount of money in the economy producing a huge boost in buying power.  This would keep his preplanned depression from getting as bad as the Hoover depression.
      The strategy was to produce a depression and blame Clinton, then be able to rev up the economy just before the 2004 election so he could claim he saved us from the Clinton depression and win his first presidential election.  Every Republican president since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 has created at least one depression, using various techniques, blamed it on the Democrats, then revved up the economy in time for re-election.
      This is based on the Republican philosophy that voters are too stupid to know when they are being taken.  This is also the reason they want to have a war in progress so they can be a war hero plus say we should not change in mid stream plus killing our troops is just a necessary sacrifice to have a Republican president.
      The Federal debt as of January 16, 2004 was $7,002,877,924,418.81 per U.S.Treasury Fed. Debt. Yes, that is $7 trillion dollars.  A $555 billion debt increase from Fiscal 2002 to 2003 and is a $220 billion dollar Federal debt increase in the first 3.5 months of Fiscal 2004.  Bush says it is getting better when in fact it is rapidly getting worse.
      According to former secretary, Paul O'neil's documentation, the first thing on Mr. Bush's agenda was to develop a way, an emotional trigger, to start a war against Saddam Hussein, despite the fact that Saddam had never made any hostile moves against the United States.  And despite the fact that Libya, Iran, North Korea, and others had acted hostile toward us or participated in terrorist or hostile activities toward us.
      Mr. Bush is refusing to allow a complete investigation into what he knew about the impending terrorist attacks before the 911 terrorist attack.  The fact that Mr. Bush suddenly had to travel to Florida and teach a kindergarten class on the exact same day that his temporary residence was one of the Terrorist targets makes it absolutely mandatory that we learn the facts and possibly prosecute him for treason.  Clearly, he knew that Muslims were getting training to fly commercial airplanes without any instructions to take-off or land the planes.
      Clearly, the 911 Terrorist attack was the emotional trigger that Mr. Bush wanted in order to get the American public to support his pre-planned invasion of Iraq.   Mr. Bush's advisors knew that he could not get American support for Bush's war without a large terrorist attack.
      According to reports I have read, Saddam was attempting to negotiate with Mr. Bush, in a manner similar to the negotiation with Libya, to prevent the slaughter of many Iraqis and his own death, but Mr. Bush would not allow the negotiation.  Obviously, Saddam was a terrible dictator, but then there are many dictators who kill people the same as Saddam.
      I am sure that Saddam killed lots of people to become the dictator.  Saddam made the law requiring death to anyone who opposed his rule, then enforced his law the same as Mr. Bush had 150 people executed, more than any other governor, while he was Governor of Texas, despite the fact that DNA test most likely would have proven that some of them were wrongfully convicted.
      Mr. Bush said he was going to war with Saddam because he had weapons of mass destruction, close to building nuclear bombs, and that we were in immediate danger.  The war and additional inspections have proven this to be an outright lie.
      Mr. Bush ordered two assassination attempts to kill Saddam Hussein and started a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq, which is an apparent criminal violation of international law.  Then, later flip-flopped and started calling the Bush Invasion and effort to free the Iraqis. Mr. Bush claims that his invasion of Iraq has made us safer from terrorist, which insults our intelligence.  Mr. Bush's invasion of Iraq has created worldwide hostility toward us and has created a magnet to rally a huge increase in terrorism against us.
      If Mr. Bush had placed military guards on commercial airline flights and concentrated enough force after Osama bin Laden instead of invading Iraq, Osama could have already been captured or killed along with most of the leaders in the terrorism business.
      It is ironic that prosecutors are making such an energetic effort to prosecute Martha Stewart for insider trading violation and denying that she committed the violation.  Yet, according to news reports, while Daddy Bush was president, Mr. Bush violated the Federal Insider Trading law and sold Harken Corporation stock while he was a Harken director.
      This illegal sale netted Mr. Bush an extra $562,000 more than he would have received if he had sold after the announcement, which effectively was a theft against the unsuspecting stock buyers.  This occurred after the corporation lawyer advised the Harken officers and directors to avoid selling any stock due to an impending public announcement that Harken had lost $25,000,000 in the previous quarter.
      The SEC commenced an investigation but suddenly stopped.  But then it might not have been a good idea for the sake of their jobs to prosecute and send the sitting president's namesake son to prison.  Perhaps. Martha Stewart is a Democrat.
      Ken Lay, Enron President and a Bush crony, the main cause of huge increases in natural gas prices, plus electricity in California and other places, is a Republican darling and may not even be prosecuted if Mr. Bush can fool enough people to win a presidential election.
      Reports are that Mr. Bush's "No Child Left Behind" has caused trouble instead of helping because Mr. Bush has not funded the program.
      Mr. Bush wants to make his "Tax Cuts For The Fat Cats" permanent despite the fact that it is one of the main causes of the sudden return to the Reagan type Federal debt explosion and huge increase in interest cost thereof, making it impossible to fund extremely necessary programs.  I read that Bill Gates, multibillionaire, could or did receive a $25,000,000 tax refund.  He needed that like I need to jump over my house.
      This has been an in-depth look at political economics as opposed to text book economics, Republican secret political strategies, and why more than 500 American troops have died to further Mr. Bush's obsession.
