20 Reasons to Hate Bush
1. The national debt under Bush Jr. has increased so drastically that the average American’s estimated share of the national debt will be an astronomical $24,000 compared to $500 when Dubya first took office.
2. Under Bush Jr. there are now 43 million Americans with now health insurance.
3. Responsible for an unemployment rate of 6%. There are now 9 million people out of work in America, 3.3 million more than when Bush took office.
4. He cut healthcare benefits to veterans.
5. Bush Jr. deserted his unit during Vietnam and was reportedly AWOL for over a year from his assigned unit: The Texas Air National Guard, or as it's referred to by the other military outfits, the "champagne division."
6. Despite a 13% unemployment rate among those aged 16-24, Bush Jr. proposed to eliminate youth opportunity grants- a pro-am that provides job training to the nation's youth. A $225M program in 2002 is now being done away with so Bush can have more money for Iraq.
7. He cut funding for 375,000 low income college students and reduced the Pell grant amounts to such a severe degree that it effectively caused 84,000 students to no longer be eligible for Pell grants. Pell amounts have been overall reduced for 1.5 million students...it's safe to say that the Bush daughters aren't eligible for financial aid, so this won't affect the opulent lives of anyone Bush Jr. may know.
8. Withdrew from the International Criminal Court.
9. First President in US History to refuse United Nations Election Inspectors (During the 2002 U.S. Elections).
10. All-time U.S. (and World) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
11. The Bush Administration had twice as many FBI agents fighting the drug war than fighting terrorism prior to 9/11. Even after 9/11, more than 2,000 FBI agents are wasting their valuable time assigned to the war on drugs.
12. His proposed "Free Trade" agreements would result in the loss of U.S. Jobs to foreign markets and the exploitation of third world workers.
13. John Ashcroft.
14. He has taken 11 official executive actions to undermine reproductive rights... how long wil it be before a woman is stripped of her right to choose?
15. Failed to fulfill pledge to get Osama bin Laden "Dead or Alive."
16. Wasted federal resources on a PR trip to Baghdad where he staged a Thanksgiving meal at 6AM with troops that were screened based on their political affiliations, and the turkey? It was a prop.
17. His refusal to fire- or ever reprimand Lt. General Jerry "Our God is bigger than their God" Boykin. Perhaps it's because Boykin said of the President, "George Bush was not elected by a majority of voters in the United States. He was appointed by God. He's in the White House because God put him there."
18. After sending troops off to die in an unjust and unprovoked war, he still has yet to attend any soldiers' funerals.
19. His shameless nepotism for the rich and powerful. Elizabeth Cheney (Daughter of Ol'Dick) got hooked up with a cool gig at the state department where she was in charge of the $129 million middle east partnership initiative and then was moved over to Daddy and Uncle Dubya's campaign payroll.
20. He dropped his dog on its head.
