"...Blame the bust of the dot-com boom, the ensuing recession, President Bush's federal tax cuts, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq..."

He minimizes Bush's role by slipping him in among several other less important causes. He should have said "President Bush's federal tax cuts and President Bush's war in Iraq". Instead he links 9-11 to Iraq and he deflects the blame from Bush.

"...You owe $145,000. And the bill is rising every day. That's how much it would cost every American man, woman and child to pay the tab for the long-term promises the U.S. government has made to creditors, retirees, veterans and the poor..."

Parroting the Republican line, he blames retirees, veterans, and the poor - instead of the corporate leeches who turned our budget surpluses into staggering deficits with breathtaking speed.

An on and on.

If/when the economy collapses there should be trials. Reporters and editors who spewed corporate propaganda like this should be convicted of treason.
