Sure we're all guilty of consumerism. But I strongly disagree with the idea that this administration is in any shape, form or fashion trying to save us. They don't give a rat's ass about us. Let's not forget our government is corporate America...and they know they've just about reached the threshold of consumerism here. The only thing they're interested in is winning the race to globalize so they can keep reaping their precious profits after this country goes down the economic crapper.

So please, keep preaching your other points -- people need to know that consumerism is destroying this country, and we are all complicit. But stop trying to make it sound like BushCo care and are just doing what they can to stop the bleeding. They're doing nothing of the sort.
