Bush Has Lost Faith In Paper Issued by the Government!
Edited on Wed Apr-06-05 07:36 PM by The Whiskey Priest
He thinks that a pile of paper, which the Government has stated they will redeem, is not worthy of our faith.

Hold on a minute…each of us spent the last 8 hours working for paper….paper that the Government has told us would be honored….is he telling us that just that paper which is a debt for our retirement is not going to be honored, or, is he doubting the future of the paper we are going to be paid by working today? Is he in his subtle way telling us that its all over, there is nothing issued by the Government that is to be counted on?

If the Government will not honor a pledge for our retirement, then how can they be counted on to honor any pledge? Maybe we work all week and then take the paper we are paid with and find out, OOPPPS! You get no bread with that meatball!

No wonder it says "In God We Trust," sure looks like, according to Bush, we cannot count of the Government.

1. My father sold auto parts for many years, wholesale...
But the retail store that owned the company had a sign in the back of the store....

IN GOD WE TRUST. ALL OTHERS PAY CASH.

6. That's exactly what he's saying
"We squandered all that money to disguise the tax giveaways to rich men and corporations, so now you poor folks are just shit out of luck. Neener, neener, neener!"

I think it's time for us to start talking about DEMAND SIDE ECONOMICS now that squandering our retirement to fatten the rich has resulted in FEWER JOBS. It's time to sock it to those fat bastards and force them to pay back every dime they stole from the rest of us.

8. Sam just got done talking about it on AAR
I'm stunned that any president would say what Bush just said. It was reckless and very stupid (even for him). If we had real leaders in this country it would be another glaring addition to the many articles of impeachment against Bush. Sam said that if anyone believed Bush the dollar would tank to zero tomorrow, but thankfully most know he's just lying and BS'ing for political gain.

11. When scaring you didn't work, now they diminish. ***holes. They need
this infusion of cash into the market so a bubble will happen and the rich can divest their American stocks and pass on the GE to some unsuspecting 35 year old mill-worker.
