i used to read the new yorker, but its so goddamn long and comes like every fucking week!
i will concede that his tax cuts probably would have helped our economy otherwise, but otherwise is not the case. the reason nobody in history has ever cut taxes while at war is simple: it doesn't work or make sense. p.s. not trying to deny 9/11's irreversible effect on the economy, but his handling of the economy afterwards w/ wars going on and those shenanigans: it's unacceptable that it has taken 3 years before we begin to see evidence of a turnaround.
as far as iraq, i don't care whether he intended to mislead us or not, he did not have enough (if any) evidence to order a unilateral war, and thousands have died because of it. that too, is unacceptable. also, if what you say is true, i am appalled to know that the president is shielded by his administration because HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES AND CONSEQUENCES AT STAKE, THIS MAN IS THE LEADER OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH, THAT TOO, IS UNACCEPTABLE! i also will admit that because of his many programs implemented, we may or may not be safer at home, however, the patriot act which you mention is unconstitutional and violates many of our core rights as american citizens. and this has no bearing whatsoever on the global arena. the fact remains that his blatant disregard towards the rest of the world has alienated even our allies, creating even more global hatred of the u.s.. so while we may be safer by having the government reading our neighbors' library records, terrorist abroad couldn't give a rats ass. and honestly (i'm not saying they don't exist), but i can't remember the last time i heard a suspected terrorist was caught because of the patriot act, help me out here.
60% in school funding, the fact also remains that this funding is going to the schools with the highest scores, a system which doesn't make sense. the good schools get better, the bad schools get worse, that's no way to fix the education system.
and environment regulations, as far as i can tell any regulations under bush are unrealistic! seriously. i beg to differ with your ideas about a suffering economy and the environment. clinton was a champion for the environment, and it was one of his strongest points, the same clinton also presided over the biggest economic boom in american history, so clearly, you don't need to cut regulations to have a working economy. and if the only way bush can get the economy going again is by destroying the environment, then we've got a serious problem.
please, nick, educate me how you are so knowledgable about holding a serious job when you spend 8 hours a day 5 days a week at school, p.s. i worked 8 hours a day all summer and paid my goddamn taxes, bitch!! and who's to be the judge of who does and doesn't know what they're talking about, i'm sure in a parallel universe, alex v. is the only one of us that really knows anything about politics...!?(scary thought) (pss no offense taken, its nice to talk to somebody where you're not just arguing the exact same opinions to each other)
