This made me stop and think. Why couldn't it be true? While Bush & Co. are riding the crest of the wave, what better way to give their buds first crack atprivatizing all those things we've come to rely on with federal guidelines and standards.......things like Social Security, transportation, education, Federal Aviation, Medicare, welfare, water and utilities, etc.
>" From the first months of the Bush administration, when their initial breathtaking tax cuts were presented to Congress, it has been obvious that the explicit goal of this administration is to bankrupt the federal government to justify a sweeping program of privatization. Pursuing federal bankruptcy is a deliberate policy. "
Oh, it's aplan allright. And I'llbet people like Tom Brosz are jumping up and down and saying we need this to strengthen America. Like Iraq, maybe you gotta tear it up and rebuild it (no price gouging or phoney books please...and PLEASE get it out to the people on time.......AND in good shape! Make sure that more than just the Republicans can afford it.)
Boy, do I smell rat. Don't say it can't happen <here>
