I was reading at the CNN site about the little people that are having problems. I was reading about borrowers not finding any help. That got me to remembering back when President Bush and the Republicans made a major effort to get the bankruptcy laws changed. They were just crazy on the subject. They said we had to make it harder for a person to declare bankruptcy and had to make it hurt the person filing for bankruptcy. I wondered why they were so hard and crazy on the subject. I just said to myself well they are Republicans and all they care about is big business, corporations and banks.
Now I wonder if some of them knew that one day things would get real bad for the little guy and they wanted to try and keep them from using the bankruptcy laws.
I keep hearing about the feds pumping $200 billion dollars into Wall Street and the banks and corporations to help them. It does not seem to help. That one day the market may go up. The next day it is back down big time.
How many homes would $200 billion dollars save? How many little people would that amount of money help?
I do not understand Republicans. President Bush's popularity has hit a new low. Just 31 percent of Americans approve of how President Bush is doing his job. President Bush still has some high rating numbers from Republicans. I have to wonder in what world do they live?
I wonder how President Bush can even have 31 percent of the people approving of his actions. We are in a five year war now. World War II only lasted, for the United States, four years.
This war has cost American our good name around the world. In this war almost 4000 brave Americans have died fighting for the United States. The toll of Iraqi killed is unknown. I have heard all sorts of numbers. Today CNN is saying the estimates is between 80,000 and 150,000 or more.
This war was going to cost us no dollars. I can remember President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney saying it would not cost us any money and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war. It has cost us over $600 billion and oil prices in the United States are sky high.
The true cost of the war is going to be much higher than anything we can even dream about. We are not paying of it now. We are borrowing money to pay for it. This is the first war, other than the our war for freedom from England, that we did not pay for during the war.
There are reports that the cost of this war will hit $1.6 trillion this year.
I still not not understand how Republicans can support President Bush. I know they are Republicans and he is a Republican but look what he has done to our nation and is doing to the United States.
