Bush: Don’t Ask Me About The Economy, I Got A ‘B In Econ 101'

[jadedconformist]

QUESTION: Do you think there’s a risk of a recession? How do you rate that?

BUSH: You know, you need to talk to economists. I think I got a B in Econ 101. I got an A, however, in keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.

soft-hearted prof who wanted to keep his job after a not-so-friendly phone call from someone identifying himself as well-heeled alumn with CIA connections GHW Bush.

4. It shows how well the schemes of the NWO are working.

Propaganda
Ownership and control of the media.
Ownership and control of Congress.
Ownership and control of the courts.
Dumbed down people and lots of immigrants.
Divide and conquer strategies that work.

Nuff said.

IRAQ: Billions Wasted

Billions of dollars are unaccounted for, and there are widespread allegations of waste, fraud and war profiteering.

by Steve Kroft, CBS.com
February 12th, 2006

The United States has spent more than a quarter of a trillion dollars during its three years in Iraq, and more than $50 billion of it has gone to private contractors hired to guard bases, drive trucks, feed and shelter the troops and rebuild the country.

It is dangerous work, but much of the $50 billion, which is more than the annual budget of the Department of Homeland Security, has been handed out to companies in Iraq with little or no oversight.

8. What is helping him keep taxes down (for the rich) is

the fact that the Iraq war expenses are off budget!

9. Remember some time ago

when someone found some old grading papers or records in the basement of one of the buildings. The found that bush had ALL lower grades, and some failing. They also said on investigation those same dates and grades that were put not the main record had higher grades than he really got. He got all passing grades. I guess that was when his DADDY donated some of the building money to the college.

10. Is this a joke?
