And...They're Off!
It didn't take long.
The House / Senate Medicare prescription drug compromise hasn't even been hammered out yet, but the weasels are already jockeying for position.
Just be aware that, of all the parties who will make out on this deal, the weasels will get theirs, leaving nothing but grief down the line for the seniors who were supposed to benefit from it.
Let's see...
Lost jobs for themselves, lost jobs for their grown children, lost retirement savings, disappearing pensions, higher rents and transportation, the privatization of Social Security, the slow dissolution of Medicaid and now the selling of Medicare to the highest bidder—yup, that pretty much makes Bush the AARP poster boy for the 2004 election.
Just don't stand in the way of your grandparents on election day...
They may just run you right down.
"It's Good to Be the King!"
... said Mel Brooks in his film, History of the World.
More hubris on another front from this rogue administration.
My. It's such a wonderful world. It stuns me that we actually let other people live in it.
... where the Republican Party will be celebrating their great good fortunes this year...
