Journal Snags's Journal: Why Bush pisses me off
This is going to be a record of things Bush has done that tend to piss me off.
- 2/5/03 - Gee, whaddya know, the proposed budget has a deficit almost equal to the amount of money spent on the divident tax elimination. I thought these Republicans encouraged fiscal responsibility.
- 1/31/03 - I won't even go into the State of the Union address, where he spends a trillion dollars on political purposes and only a billion on Hydrogen. But an article in USA Today mentions that he lifted a ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks even though his own study supported the ban. He just doesn't care.
- 1/13/03 - His administration failed to put the Miami Blue butterfly on the endangered species list, even though there are only an estimated 50 left in existance, a tiny number for an insect. Luckily, his brother's admin put it on the state endangered species list.
- 1/7/03 - Eliminating the Dividend tax, at a cost of $370 Billion, while spending only $100 Billion to increase the child tax credit. Clearly the dividend tax favors the wealthy who have the money to make risky investments worth it. Plus, it encourages those who need a more reliable place to put their money to do the wrong thing. Bush knows this is the most problematic part of his proposal, as the press release spends the most time defending this idea.
- 1/6/03 - About a year ago, changed FDA policy on misleading drug ads to delay sanctions against the company until after the ad campaign is over. This is from an Op/Ed in USA Today. Search for "Misleading drug ads slip under regulators' radar".
- 2002 - Pushing a war with Iraq when clearly the Israel-Palestine conflict is a greater threat to peace
- End of 2002 - Strong rhetoric against N. Korea which only inflaims a bad situation.
- End of 2000 - Stole the presidency by using his brother's influence in Florida
