Bush is still asleep at the wheel -Trade Deficit Hits $489 Billion

[php1949]

While the Bush administration, as recently as two weeks ago said that outsourcing is good for our economy (what?), the trade deficit continues to prove that we are headed for the most horrendous and long-term "silent depression" of all time. Our great country is becomming weaker by the day while the blind idiot neocons continue to rally around an adminstration that cheers the offshoring of jobs. There is only one solution. We MUST vote George W. Bush out of office in November. Register and vote democratic.
