For OpEdNews: Allen L Roland - Writer

Bush's recently passed 77 Billion tax cut for the rich will leave 68% of all households with no benefits at all and 20 percent of households in the middle of the income spectrum receiving just $20 ~This is the harsh reality of Cheney/Bush trickle down economics: Allen L Roland

The harsh reality of Cheney/Bush economics is finally registering on Wall Street and the hangover is just beginning.

Wall Street is beginning to realize that the Cheney/Bush administration not only does not have an exit plan for Iraq but has no idea what it is doing on the economic front ~ except line the pockets of its large corporate political supporters with unnecessary tax cuts which add to the unmanageable deflicit.

Remember, with this administration , it is all about perception versus reality ~ and we are all about to come face to face with the economic consequences of this corrupt and irresponsible band of crooks.

Dr Stephen Jonas, Political Junkies, will fill you in with the mind boggling details of the looming financial collapse..

But “core” CPI — which excludes food and energy — also gained 0.3 percent, surpassing economists' expectations and adding to worries that soaring oil prices have begun to lift prices elsewhere, potentially leading to widespread inflation.

“The CPI data really kicked the market in the teeth today,” said Ken Tower, chief market strategist for Schwab's CyberTrader. . . .

Wall Street has been anxious about economic news after the Federal Reserve last week said more rate hikes could be needed to battle inflationary pressures from record-high commodities prices. . . .
