"Not Enough Money?"
ENOUGH MONEY TO:
To Cut the taxes of the wealthy;
To Sell the national forest to logging interest for one dollar an acre by revoking the Clinton forest regulations and revoking the animal habitat laws;For a full list of the Enviromental Rollbacks see the Dec 5th EcoLogical Blog
To Underwrite any losses those bloated insurance companies may suffer because of terrorism;
To Close the court files of children who successfully sued vaccine companies so new lawsuits are denied information;
To Subsidize the losses of the airline industries who play their part by threatening bankruptcy; I wonder if the new bankruptcy laws which treat normal debtors more harshly will apply to the airline industries? Too bad average debtors and the unemployed don't have the same place in Bush's heart as the DEREGULATED AIRLINE INDUSTRY.
To Allow companies that register their companies offshore to avoid U S taxes, the right to bid on contracts for homeland security purposes;
To Lower the Clean Air Standards;
To Fund the War on Drugs in the US and Columbia (did you forget we are fighting in Afghanistan and Columbia) and send the Attorney General by plane to several states on the taxpayer's dollar to campaign against ballot initiatives to liberalize the laws; 700,000 in prison for mere possession of marijuana, right now!
To Travel all over the country in Air Force One before the election campaigning (remember what happened when Gore made a simple phone call to campaign contributors from his office?).
NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO: :
To Keep the 34 million dollar U S commitment to the U N World Population Fund which provides reproductive health care to women in poverty all over the world. Did you ever notice that Republicans rarely have more than 4 children? I guess birth control is good for Republican women but not for the great unwashed desperate workers/cheap labor source producer women. And NONE of that money was going to be used for abortions. Bush repealed all Clinton's regulations allowing foreign aid to be used for abortions and instituted Bush regulations forbidding the use of any federal funds for abortion.
U.S. citizens are pledging to replace that reproductive health information and services money. It is called, The 34 Million Friends Campaign
As of 27 November, UNFPA has received $105,319.90 in support. Funds raised from the “34 Million Friends” campaign will go towards UNFPA’s core program's budget, to compensate for the loss of United States support. This includes giving women and men in over 140 developing countries access to quality reproductive health information and services. These services are desperately needed. Today, 350 million couples lack access to a range of safe and affordable family planning methods and 42 per cent of women in less developed countries deliver their babies without skilled medical assistance, which puts their lives and those of their babies at risk.Extend U C benefits, therefore the unemployed are forced to take minimum wage jobs for the corporations Bush is subsidizing;
To Fully fund social security;
To Subsidize individual's medical care and prescriptions;
To Raise the minimum wage
To pay for his tax cuts and corporation subsidies ------ so he raided the Social Security Surplus Fund every year he has been in office (No Gore; No Lockbox) while continuing to tell us that there won't be enough money so we should "privatize" social security; i.e. give social security to his friends on Wall Street. They will take some and then give it to his crooked friends in the corporations. When the corporate crooks steal it and lie about stealing it we can all take minimum wage jobs at 70 years of age and eat dog food.
That is why you should pay attention to my entry below on what they are putting into dog food.
