Since you have had all kinds of writers sending thank you letters I thought I would add my thanks to Mr. Bush: For lying to us about WMD that Iraq had so you and your ilk could go to war and make certain people wealthy. For giving all those tax breaks to the wealthy and lying to us how a trickle down economy would work for me. For letting all those good jobs run offshore to make jobs for the Asians and Mexicans. For giving tax breaks to the wealthy and then borrowing money from foreign nations that my grandchildren are going to find difficult to pay back and blame me. ...more

Consider this when deciding on the next president of our country: After seven years of a Republican presidency, our economy is crumbling as is our infrastructure. We have no comprehensive energy policy. Health care is in trouble; education is slipping; oil companies have sucked billions from us in subsidies and at the gas pumps. Corporate boards, CEOs, CFOs and Wall Street investment bankers have robbed us. We have killed thousands and spent billions on an unnecessary war in Iraq. Our national debt is now over $10 trillion and the Republicans think they should stay in the White House. What's wrong with this picture? ...more

John F. Kennedy spoke these powerful words of wisdom that are enshrined in my home, "We have the power to make this the best generation in the history of mankind, or to make it the last." The United States of America now stands on the precipice of its most perilous predicament since the Great Depression. There are new dangers and numerous frightening parallels in contemporary America with those of the late 1920s. Unemployment is increasing at an alarming rate. The stock market is growing weaker. Banks and lending institutions are struggling to survive. The unhealthy speculation in the oil market by huge pension funds (and others) is similar to the more generalized speculation euphoria of the 1920s, which led to such a calamitous scenario. The dollar is weak against most of the major currencies of world. The cost of a protracted and unnecessary war in Iraq has directly resulted in an unconscionably huge national debt –– a debt of such obscene size that it will place an economic noose around the necks of American children and grandchildren. The unwillingness of our national leaders to aggressively pursue the development of alternative energy sources to replace the rapidly depleting supply of oil throughout the world places us further behind in our quest to become energy efficient and independent. (No, there is not enough oil in untapped oil fields in Alaska to supply our needs for 200 years. Anyone who truly believes such nonsense, in an environment of worldwide gas guzzling demand, needs to a revisit high school science class and college Economics 101.) ...more
