Since bush claims he wants to help with poverty in his speech today...

[butterfly77]

why does he keep creating more poor people. I think the protest and violence he is seeing in argentina is nothing he hasn't seen nothing yet. When all of his budget cuts go in to effect I believe people will start taking to the streets.

1. Yes,

this is likely to be a spreading thing. We have riots by the marginalized in France, riots by economic protesters in S. America. Very likely we are on the way to the same thing here if the current administration doesn't replace itself.

2. W's helping with poverty by giving it huge boosts through his agenda

which adds countless millions more to the poverty roles.

3. I think the biggest threat to him & his administration

here at home is when the middle class begins to realize what he has done to them. The poor riot but are put down. But if the middle class ever decides they have had enough then bushie had better hope there is an immediate election to lose or it could get hot. If the middle class begins to see how he has destroyed their country the way we here on DU understand he will have hell to pay.
