Bush to Push Economic Agenda at Conference
WASHINGTON -- President Bush will host a conference Dec. 15-16 to promote top items on his economic agenda, including overhauls of Social Security and the tax code, restraining federal spending and improving health care and education.

Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cabinet members and outside business leaders will participate in the forum at the White House, said spokesman Scott McClellan.

snip........

The forum is not an effort to gather fresh ideas on pushing economic recovery. Rather, it is a way of advancing Bush's own agenda, which also includes curbing "frivolous lawsuits."

4. aWoL's economic agenda is
to bankrupt Social Security
Shift all taxes to the poor or at least off the rich watch for the national sales tax the most regressive possible
restraining federal spending on anything of social benefit the only money in his mind that is worth spending is for military or police actions as long as Bu$$Co gets it's cut
and to bankrupt public health care and education

Thank the true believers for the outcome, as well as the collapse of the dollar.

5. "frivolous lawsuits" against doctors wanting to practice their love..l
ended up being "PRICE FIXING " by insurance companies, according to Elliot Spitzer. The giggling murderer never lets the facts get in the way. I wonder if the media will give him another free pass. DUH.

6. Yeah, like he cares about "restraining federal spending....."
as he pumps billions of our taxpayer dollars into Iraq while our country has a crumbling infrastructure, schools that you wouldn't send your dog to, libraries operating on tight budgets and the Chinese own our treasuries. Oh, and I forgot, the taxcuts to make his cohorts in the upper class even richer so we can spend our time and money serving them.
