WTF does Bush & Co. have in mind? Or does it even matter to them, we're apparently just another company for him to go the way of El Busto I mean Arbusto and Spectrum 7, that's already clear.

1. we dont. the plan is to bankrupt the government and
undo all of the new deal and progressive policies.
i dont think the world will just stand by and let us sink them. they will cut the rope and let the anchor drag us down.

7. Yes, and when their precious angels can't read
do any math or have a clue about science and are sentenced to a life "Do you want fries with that?" they will realize the huge error they have made.

4. It's deeper than that
Politicians and citizens believe in the free lunch...keep charging, the bill doesn't matter because there's no way in hell you can payit

They say Bush will do it by 1) better economy 2) reduce spending. They think we're giong to see reduced spending right away.
