[QUOTE]Originally posted by MIB: [QB] I don't know about anybody else, but I have serious doubts about Bush's ability to run a country well. He's been in office for about 2 or 3 weeks and he is already purposing stuff that�s just...well.....STUPID! He claims he's for smaller government. Sense he became governor of Texas, the government in that state grew by 23%. The minimum wage in Texas is $3.80 an hour. There have been six attempts to raise it while Bush was governor, but he shot down each and every attempt. The reason? According to Bush, $3.80 per hour is a very livable salary and people do not need a raise. But enough about his idiocy as Governor, lets talk about Bush as president. His whole 'vouchers' program, to put it quite bluntly, will not work! In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, Bush's voucher program is a program that pulls funding from failing public schools and gives it to kids so they can go to private school. Sounds like a grand idea if it weren't for a few problems that Bush seems oblivious to. 1) There aren't enough private schools to accommodate the huge number of kids that will be attending if Bush's plan is ratified. 2) The voucher money will not cover a kid's entire tuition for private school. A wealthier family would be able to pay the extra 1000 or so that is needed for tuition, but a poorer family will not be able to pay the extra money. In a sense the poorer family is screwed. As for the energy crises in California and other parts of the country. Bush wants to open up wildlife preserves to oil drilling so that oil could be cheaper. He also wants to lower the air quality standards in this country so we can build more power plants that run on polluting fossil fuels. Did anybody in his administration ever hear about solar power, or any other methods of power generation for that matter? As for Bush's tax plan, unless you make an income of $60,000 dollars or more, don't expect to benefit much from it. What do you think of all this? [/QB][/QUOTE]
