When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I see where CT Sen. Joe Lieberman has noticed that his good buddy the Republican president is on the wrong course economically. A statement on his website (which maybe he is hoping that Bush wont read and get mad at him) said, in part:
He's right about the economy; Bush is trying to spend us so deep into a hole that we'll never get out. Why would he do that? because then we 'couldn't afford' any social programs. Conservatives hate social programs.

Joe notices economy is bad
I see where CT Sen. Joe Lieberman has noticed that his good buddy the Republican president is on the wrong course economically. A statement on his website (which maybe he is hoping that Bush wont read and get mad at him) said, in part:
Today we learned two pieces of bad news. Our government's projected deficits are now approaching $200 billion annually-not including the cost of a potential war in Iraq or of the President's so-called stimulus plan. And our overall economic growth slowed dramatically in the final quarter of last year to 0.7 percent-just short of recession level.
Behind those numbers is a stark and sobering reality: this President has no economic growth strategy. He only has a repetitive repertoire of unaffordable, unfair, and ineffective tax cuts. It's a deep disappointment to me that after $1.7 trillion in failed cuts passed in 2001, he's making the very same mistake again with a big and bloated new $900 billion plan.
He's right about the economy; Bush is trying to spend us so deep into a hole that we'll never get out. Why would he do that? because then we 'couldn't afford' any social programs. Conservatives hate social programs.
