The Titanic analogy doesn't work. The stock market is in good shape, unemployment is low, gas prices are coming down rapidly, housing prices are stable, inflation is under control. So people go to work, come home to a good meal, send the kids to college, putter around their garden. They aren't waist deep and about to drown. For the typical family in the typical town in middle America life ain't so bad.
BTW, this wasn't meant to be a defense of Bush (I didn't vote for him, and I do enjoy laughing at Bushisms), but I wanted to point out that the malaise pervasive on this board isn't shared by the general population.
Wages don't keep up with inflation/cost of living. Gas prices are taking a dip, which usually follows with an even larger increase. I know people around here have priced a college education. Not a drop in the bucket. Good luck trying to find health care that doesn't make you choose between getting that bunion looked at or putting a meal on the table. Not to mention the cost of the meds to make that damn thing go away.
I think people may be more waste deep than they may be letting onto. I know my socks have been wet for a while;)
surplus was only there because of the stock market bubble. bubble burst, no surplus. sure spending money on the wars didnt help. but its not the cause. remember its not the white house that spends money, its congress.
in your opinion, the administration is endangering american lives. I feel they are protecting mine.
well, it was bush and his administraion that goes to congress with all these requests for more money. why they continue to approve it, i don't know. but trillions of dollars in debt?? in six years?? come on, how can you possibly defend that??
you feel safe. but you're not, i'm sorry to say. especially travelling abroad. don't forget to take a "i am canadian" t-shirt with you if you do go anywhere. not trying to sound like a prick, just telling you the way it is.
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

there are many factors that go into having such high debt. it can not be pinned on bush. although I agree, his administrations spending practices do not help. but neither does any administration. the american economy is dong very well right now and the debt is under control. the bush camp has made a plan to reduce the debt over time. at least its something.
I feel more safe because el queda doesnt have a base of operations and trainging camps like they did prior to 9/11. but I would agree with you, americans imagime is fucked up around the world. I'm not too concerned about my safety abroad. I'm much more concerned if a dirty bomb will go off in the streets of Chicago. sorry, you'll never see my in a "i'm a candian" t-shirt. I'm very proud to be an American.
Money he will have - The book deals available to Bush after his term is up will be enourmous. Yes, the hatred for this president is probably un-paralleled, but it's kind of like a train wreck sometimes - and I think what has happened the last 6 years has been so dramatic and unprecedented that
a true auto-biography on Dubya would be a big seller
As if he needs the extra cash....lets hope he does not pen this piece....could just imagine that disaster...:)

It would have to be a pop-up book so that he could read about himself.
