Bush: worst president ever.
Vote Bert Bananas in 2008; he mentions me in his blog
It is approximately 4 hours until the State of the Union and I am already disheartened by Bush's remarks. Take his health care plan. Let's call it what it is: a plan to punish middle class, mostly union workers, and reward his pals. The basics: tax those workers with the best health plans (those negotiated by organized labor, being a large part; high level executives the other), and use that money to give tax breaks to small businesses and the self-employed so they can afford health insurance. Shouldn't we aspire that everyone has good healthcare, and not punish those that have it? Is this really a race to mediocrity--bring some down to bring others up?
I'm all for helping small business pay for health insurance, in fact, I think it should be a top priority to fix the system, but why must we punish some to reward others? I also understand the concept of a zero sum game, but this is just another partisan piece of crap initiative offered by a truck load of crap president. I have an idea? Stop dumping billions upon billions into Iraq. Take our soldiers out of harms way, and use our nation's resources to help our nation, not reward your Haliburton cronies and exact revenge for Saddam's attempting to kill daddy.
Sleep well, President Harding. You are no longer the worst president ever.

That’s a fantastic observation and you kind of snuck it in there - we should aspire to the highest quality for all. There really is no need for compromise here, as far as health care goes. It's not like there’s some grand limit on the amount of healthiness we are allotted.
"Sorry buddy, you've been healthy for a while now. Time you got sick so one of the other boys can take a turn. You understand, fair is fair."
However, there is a limit on the amount the profit margin established by the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.
The concept of leveraging the weight of those with the best healthcare in order to help those with the worst is a thin attempt to make it look like he's taxing the rich to give to the poor.
SZG, you amaze me with your foresight. I am going to recomend you to Bert as a VP candidate. I'm also going to invest in Boeing and Airbus. We'll need a lot more planes to airlift a county's people.
Birdy,
Bush's proposal to fix healthcare is a sincere as Steakbellie's desire to save chickens from an untimely death.
I eat them so that I might understand them....
duh!
As you will have discovered by now, I am no longer a candidate for our nation's highest office. Speaking of which, did you know that Judge Judy makes more per year than all nine of the Supremes, put together?
I leave the field without rancor, but with some fear; will we always have to suffer more of the same old thing?
