"Name ONE government program that is well-managed."

Plenty of them-- We owe space exploration, personal computers, the pocket calculator, interstate highways, the Internet... and so much more to government agencies. It is only recently changed, when the neocons openly admitted their goal to make government look incompetent by underfunding and understaffing and hobbling key agencies. They wanted to prevent the government from protecting people by making people see it as a waste instead of an ally.

But we now know the neocon plan was a scam to steal money from the average citizen and restoring the government to its previous power and prestige is essential for recovery.

Maybe it''s time for the U.S. to ask for bailout. I''m sure China would be glad to help, with certain conditions of course.

In 1930, when the DEPRESSION hit full force, that "great" Republican mind in the White House, Herbert Hoover" decided to put people to work building a DAM across the Colorado River.

When it was completed, and FDR was made President, the country referred to the dam as "Boulder Dam". It wasn''t until years later that the dam was rechristened "Hoover Dam", though many referred to it as "DAM HOOVER"!!!

Today, we have a similar situation, however, the Great Emperor Bush II has no plans on building a dam across anything if it means putting people to work.

Instead, many cities are following the example of San Francisco and building trash incinerators and naming them after the Great Emperor Bush II, or calling them "TRASH BUSH"!!!

SIG HEIL, I ALWAYS WANTED SOMETHING NAMED AFTER ME!!!, BUSH!!!

Time for We the People to take down this fascist government which represents the rich CEOs of the corporations that run it.

We should threaten general strikes to shut down the country until the government seizes the assets of the robber barons and starts to work for us. That is why they exist, to benefit us!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fed is a little behind schedule...about six months ago I said that they would be paying us to take on more debt in six months.

Still, not too bad a prognostication, considering the fact that I do not have access to the people who are ruining America like Paulson and the Fed do.
