iht.com — "President George W. Bush vetoed a major spending measure on Tuesday that would have funded education, health care and job training programs, saying it contained too many special projects, even as he signed a $459 billion bill to increase the Pentagon's non-war funding."

IMPEACH

We still carried out plenty of bombings around the world (including Iraq) and many third world citizens were still being exploited for US interests under clinton, the only difference was he did a much better job of covering it up. It was only 'simpler times' because you were kept ignorant of what the government was doing abroad.

There is nothing wrong with corporations doing business, there is nothing wrong with companies making products, delivering services and making profits. That is critical to a functional free society.However there is a BIG problem when corporations begin to create public policy. There is a terrible danger when the corporations can purchase the elected government. Free competition dies and the top corporations look for ways other than good commercial practices to keep themselves at the top of the heap. The collusion between corporations and politicians will inevitably lead to the loss of individual freedom.

Bush graduated from Yale, because he couldn't make it in Harvard. Daddy dropped a bundle on Yale to make sure he got in. He was a solid C student, you can't graduate from Harvard with a C average.Without the Bush money and influence, junior wouldn't have made it out of a community college.He was put in office by the Supreme court. The second time he got in on fear mongering and smear campaigning.He WILL go down in history as the worst president this country has ever seen.

I study economics and history in college, actually. The reason my country is a superpower today, and the reason our health care and education is of such great quality (though not availability), is because of capitalism. I firmly believe that if we abolish regulation that introduces barriers to enter the healthcare market, which is often lobbied for by wealthy drug and insurance companies in Washington, that health care would be much cheaper and available in the United States. Much more alternative treatment would be available, and drugs would be cheaper due to competition.So why would we benefit more from funding liberal programs like the FDA, which establishes much of the regulation of which I speak? I personally think that money would be better spent on our military, which in turn will result in domestic production and increased trade with other countries. Both of these improve my economy, which improves my living standards.
