It's amazing that there are two things that happened over the last three years, neither of them good and hopefully both will be over soon...and we can fix one by fixing the other...what might that be?
The number of Americans living in poverty and without health insurance rose for the third straight year in 2003, the Census Bureau reported Thursday in a pair of reports that delivered a double dose of bad economic news for the Bush administration.
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said the reports demonstrate the administration's failed economic policies. President Bush's supporters said the numbers don't reflect more recent economic gains, including the addition of 1.5 million jobs in the last year.
Hmmm...a Preznit that has no time for average Americans descending into poverty; the kind of folks whose unfortunate choice of a sort-of-primary-care physician is decided by which ER they get to on a given day...who will never realize the "tax relief" that they think that they are getting because, well, they're not in that $300,000 a year and up income group.
So for three years the lot of more and more hard-working, trusting Americans has been getting worse, and for three years there has been an adiminstration appointed to office that could actually give a shit about that. Man, that's so coincidental, it's downright scary.
The country can't stand another three months of the 1600 Crew and Preznit Economic Disaster...by the time he's done with us there won't be middle-class or any other class but the plutocracy left...what a catastrophy.
John Kerry at least has a clue and a willingness to listen to solutions, and begin restoring our country. Preznit Credit Crunch has no clue. How much clearer choice could there be? If a rising tide lifts all boats, there are a whole lot of folks who must feel like they hit the iceberg over the last 36 months.

Amen to the sentiment, though I should point out that we're all stuck with Bush until after the ceremonies on January 20. Let's hope not a second later though ...
I just don't understand these folks who stand by Bush, and I'm talking New Yorkers. I mean, he's been pissing on us for four years and these people still believe it's raining.
Bob "No Facts" had the temerity to say on Crossfire yesterday that there are so many uninsured Americans because they "choose" not to buy insurance.
During a period early last year when both my wife and I were unemployed in this "growing" economy, it cost us $900.00 a month for a bare bones health insurance policy.
I guess $900.00 a month is chump change for that overpayed mouthpiece for the RNC.
