State of the Union Address 1/21/2004 2:17:28 PM
The Author did not watch it, but chose a re-run Movie he had seen before, a pertinent choice of one Re-run over another. George W. Bush claimed he was great on national security, though he allowed more violent American deaths on American soil than has any President since Lincoln; the latter having an excuse. He has arrested more Americans than any President since FDR, and most were as innocent as the Japanese/Americans in WWII. The war casualties under his Administration are less than even any War American has fought, but are still continuing. It is also true that the U.SW. military has never before faced such a non-aggressive enemy in the field, and Casualties are much higher than equivalent actions in the Banana Republics in the first half of the previous Century.
Bush still advocates Tax Cuts without Government spending decreases. He wants Privatization of Social Security, though no one can offer any had estimates of Gains or Losses, but can prove vast transition costs. Other suggestions were to vastly increase Government spending and further National Debt, through Space programs and economic incentives which will spur nothing but more wasted effort.
Each American Citizen must decide on the competence and vision of their current CEO, but the Author hopes the Democrats come up with a Candidate who has relevance. lgl
