[Vision2020] Reasoning and the vote (was Bush and war and Iraq)

[Tbertruss at aol.com]

Donovan et. al.

Some political wonks think the huge Federal deficit run up by the Bush 
administration and their cronies in the US Congress is a deliberate attempt to 
create a financial disaster that will necessitate radical slashing of Medicare, 
Medicaid and Social Security.  It is no secret many ultra conservatives want to 
completely dismantle the New Deal.  Once other countries decide that the US 
Federal debt is so far out of control they stop propping up our government with 
outside investment, which is a major factor allowing the Feds to run up this 
debt and get away with it, then we will see the demands for drastic downsizing 
of Federal social/medical programs in the climate of a financial emergency.

Maybe, maybe not.

But the professed attitudes of the Bush administration to put America first 
and not allow other nations or the United Nations to dictate our policies or 
actions appears to be contradicted by policies which are in effect selling our 
nation to other countries who are financing our Federal debt.  Another issue of 
critical importance that gets scant attention, it seems.
