Trade-deficits and jobs lost

In the past six years of the Bush administration, annual trade deficits run $700 billion— almost exactly what the Iraq-Afghanistan wars cost YOU, the American taxpayers.   Double trouble !

We are sitting like lemmings— while foreign-nationals eat our proverbial lunch. 

During the recent six years -- over three million manufacturing jobs vacated our country.  More than one million American IT jobs were swallowed up by foreign-nationals here with H-1B, H-2B and L-1 visas.

Dumb and dumber.

We have "forgotten" how to compete and manage successfully

Chrysler, owned by a powerful German multi-national conglomerate, is failing and is now for sale.  General Motors and Ford dangle at the end of their collective hooks like so many steer carcasses in a packing plant— as they drop 30,000 jobs in two years.  Meanwhile, the high-integrity Toyota builds more and more U.S. factories.

All of these failures are easily traced to our lack of sensible strategic plans. 

Where, for instance, is our U.S. National Immigration Strategic Plan ?   Would you be surprised to learn— there is nobody singularly in charge of immigration in the U.S.  Instead, we have tactical bureaucratic geniuses in fiefdoms competing with one-another, dancing to the tune of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce— Departments of State, Labor, Commerce, DHS, and others.  Incredibly stupid!

As my father would say, "Why doesn't Bush use common sense?"

Expensive social-services for illegal aliens come first

While 40 million Americans can't afford health insurance for themselves and their children, Bush supports more than 20 million illegal aliens and their children & grand-children with automatic "free" health care in every hospital in this country.

He supports more than 380,000 illegal alien mothers birthing 380,000 anchor babies annually with full funding from American taxpayers.  Average birth, pre-natal and post-natal care cost no less than $8,000 to $12,000 per kid, depending on region of the country.  If such a child suffers premature birth or birth defect, costs run into the millions.  

While our beloved president supports illegal aliens abusing our rights, he won't support American citizens and their children with basic health care.  Where is the common sense of that ?

Foreclosures are the tip of the iceberg

With home foreclosures reaching epidemic levels, consumer debt at $2 trillion and the average credit card holder suffering a $9,149.00 balance— wouldn't it, and please follow me here, wouldn't it make common sense that President Bush, for once, represent American workers, American interests, American children, America education and our culture?

Instead of blowing off $2 billion a week paying for the Iraq-Afghanistan Wars— based on the threat of illusionary WMD (weapons of mass destruction), better known as "Willful Mass Deception," wouldn't it make more sense to exert a stop-loss effort; bring our troops home, stop the killing-maiming, guard our own borders and perhaps spend money on America's interests, i.e., our own children and citizens?

Wouldn't it make more common sense for Bush to deal with and resolve America and America's challenges?   Wouldn't it make more sense to guard our borders from terrorists instead of provoking more terrorism in the land of Islam?

Finally, the worst nightmare Bush bequeaths upon future Americans finds his dirty little secret of jumping legal immigration from 1 to 2 million annually.  His actions today propel us toward an added 100 million people by 2040.  If we don’t have enough problems today with air pollution, gridlocked cities, crowding, endangered species, climate change, educational, medical and other problems, Bush adds to our social nightmare by jumping our population issues from insane to ultra insane.  In other words, Bush has taken leave of his senses as he forces us down his insane path.

We suffer from a leadership mess

The U.S. Congress cowers in the pocket of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce— puppets to big-business.  The 'checks-and-balances' are smoke-and-mirrors— illusion.   Our fore-fathers roll in their graves.
