Poverty's Up

Well, congratulations, Mr. Bush. According to Reuters, millions more people have fallen into poverty in this country since you stole the White House.

Oh, I know, you're blaming it on 9/11 and on the corporate scandals. Let me remind you: it was YOUR choice to invade a non-threatening country, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11! And it is your buddies, including Ken Lay, who stole all the cookies and left us with the crumbs!

And all this, so close to another election, right after your almost-laughable (if our young men and women's lives weren't at stake!) dog-and-pony show for the UN, just when you're begging them and Congress to pour MORE personnel and money down the rat hole you've dug!

THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES!

MILLIONS more hard working US citizens, competing in lines at food pantries! All from the most vulnerable and stressed populations and geographical areas of this bedraggled nation.

Gee, THANKS!
