That falls under the catagory of Nagin's stupidity. He didn't even try to evacuate the elderly or hospitals. And the same with the people on the higways....what happened regarding those dozens of empty buses?

Actually, attempts were made to rescue the elderly and sick but many hospitals and rest homes turned away buses sent for their patients. As a result, in more than one case hospital / rest home operators are facing many counts of negligent homicide.

Space, I've found most everything you say to be truly insightful, but come on! G.W. is good with money?!?!?

Debt limit increase soughtOfficial says administration will begin tapping the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund.
Treasury Secretary John Snow notified Congress on Monday that the administration has now taken “all prudent and legal actions,” including tapping certain government retirement funds, to keep from hitting the $8.2 trillion national debt limit.
In a letter to Congress, Snow urged lawmakers to pass a new debt ceiling immediately to avoid the nation’s first-ever default on its obligations.
“I know that you share the president’s and my commitment to maintaining the full faith and credit of the U.S. government,” Snow said in his letter to leaders in the House and Senate.


There were articles all over the news about this! The U.S. is officially in such bad financial shape that we not only have the highest debt ever we now have no choice but to go deeper into debt in order to maintain our credit rating! Some of the things that are being done to manage our debt here in the U.S. are totally irresponsible. If Bush were C.E.O. of a public corp, he'd be in deep shit.

I meant that the guy in the pic ID posted (who I assumed was Lex Luthor) was good with money. I think.

But the Republicans have been spending money like drunken sailors, agreed. They have turned their back on fiscal conservatism. Some have said that the US government's management is resembling that of a third-world country!

Instead of taxing and spending, like the Democrats, they are borrowing and spending! Nice of the Asians to keep on lending money though. Wonder how long that can last...

I have a theory that one of the reasons the US is bringing India into it's political and economic orbit is so that when they become a wealthy nation, Washington will have another source to borrow from.

On to something or on something? Maybe GW can borrow money from the Lizard-men at the center of the Earth. :smirks:

I kid. I kid. I actually think it's a good point too.

That sounds more like the Space Tycoon I've been reading. Forgive me for the misperception.

I like your theory on india. I also think that Bush signed the latest Nukyuler deal with India because he saw India as a buffer between the US and China and quite possibly Iran in the near future.
