George Shrub's Deception  
  
The other day, I viewed in disbelief George W. Shrub's intricate speech to your house of Representatives. It was instead telling that this speech had not been in primetime however rather at 9 a.m. (6 a.m. in the West). I understand a lot about national politics because I compose political thrillers (www.thetwentyfirstcentury.com) and also I am constantly doing research for my publications as well as short articles. However it does not take a writer of national politics, and even one who doesn't comply with national politics, to recognize that what George Bush stated the other day made absolutely no sense. With all the (significant) problems he and the Republican event remain in, it is not surprising that he has instantly selected to speak (or deceive) the American people regarding America's economics: November is coming.  
  
Basically, Bush claimed that the state of our economic climate remains in good shape and is getting more powerful everyday. Am I insane, or has George Shrub tripled the deficiency because he took office (as well as increased his salary instantly after being sworn in)?  
  
We currently, for the very first time in background, owe more to international countries than they owe us (compromising our setting as the world's very power and threatening our defenses).  
  
The Iraqi War is mosting likely to set you back close to a trillion bucks by the time it finishes as well as we restore what we damaged there, ruining our economy over here.  
  
There is still the restoring of New Orleans and various other cities, as well as what disasters are can be found in the possible near future.  
  
How about the billions of dollars a day in passion our country is accumulating?  
  
Bush wishes to spend a fortune protecting our boundaries, 정보이용료현금 not from terrorists, yet from inadequate Mexican family members who have no work as well as require to feed their households. The terrorists are being available in from Canada as well as various other cities, not from Mexico.  
  
Interest rates rise monthly, requiring Americans to pay more on their bank card and their home mortgages as well as their college lendings, and so on. As a result of that, real estate costs have begun to decrease because people can't afford a home As Well As a substantial rates of interest, besides climbing real estate tax annually, to spend for it. Isn't this increasing tax obligations by a various name.  
  
George Shrub still thinks, as well as plans to proceed the ludicrous tax obligation refund (millions to the abundant, 소액결제 현금화 a pittance to the inadequate).  
  
The cost of acquiring gas is increasing the cost of whatever we buy, 정보이용료현금 although the oil business are appreciating significant profits (Exxon/Mobil earned $340 BILLION last year). This recurring impact has increased the rates on food, drug, garments, everything. And also it is not going to finish, as I enjoy my gas station elevate their rates virtually daily. How much poorer can we get?  
  
The American individuals have less as well as less and George Bush says the state of our economic situation is excellent as well as is growing. It sure appears to me as well as most Americans that it's our individual financial obligation that is expanding. The amount of individuals are far better off today than they were five years earlier? Not me, or any person I understand.  
  
It's all smoke and mirrors.
