Aye, Tiara, that's correct. One problem I have with Bush is he is listening to whoever's telling him it's a good idea to raise the debt ceiling and continue to borrow money to make end's meet. It's a very scary liberal behavior(you can't borrow you're way out of debt) and I'm on the verge of writing him a letter. The dollar is on the verge of folding(it won't because so much of the world's money is tied up in dollars and foreign governments don't want to cause a depression by collapsing the US economy) and he's trying to fix it by spending money? He should be doing enormous cutbacks to balance the budget and cut significant chunks from the deficit. That's right cutbacks. As Roosevelt(the American president who created the Welfare system) said, "Relief is like a narcotic, a little for a short period of time can be good for someone, too much or too long and it becomes a problem." The largest weakness that we as citizens of our respective countries have, is that we are used to counting on the Government to take care of us. That's not their responsibility though, their responsibility is to protect us from foreign agressors and internal threats like murders and such. Look in the US Constitution and you'll see no lines promising free health care or medicines because you lived like a bloody grasshopper and didn't prepare for the inevitable time when you wouldn't be able to earn a living. And I'm sorry 80% tax rates don't work for me.
