Mr Bush takes great pleasure talking about his economic plan. What economic plan?

The truth is that since the Republicans stole the office of president, his is the first Administration since Herbert Hoover's to lose jobs, and the country has lost millions of jobs. If there is a plan, it seems like it's designed to destroy the republic.

Poverty in the U.S. is on the rise. Almost 12-percent of the population has fallen into the ranks of the impoverished—but 12-percent is the government's official statistic, which I believe to be much greater, as liars usually lie when it helps them to look better than the real figures might. In 2002, more than 34-million Americans lived in households uncertain of the next meal. That's almost one-and-a-half million more Americans than in 2001.

It's reported 23-million Americans visit food kitchens annually. Among these unfortunates are many former middle-class workers seeking handouts for the first time in their lives, and embarrassed about it. But they have little reason for being ashamed of being unemployed: the jobs for which they qualify are gone to India, to China,to Taiwan, to everywhere but where they rightfully belong: here in the republic.

Everyone is in debt, individuals, corporations, municipalities, states, the federal government.

In December of 2000, the unelected president implied that by dedicating the entire budget surplus to paying off the national debt, "\"the United States can be debt-free by this decade." Instead, he and his cohorts squandered the first surplus the country has had in many years, awarding tax cuts to the very rich. Why the lie?

Bush, the unelected, is the man who rashly took the U.S. to war in Afghanistan claiming Osam bin Laden and the Taliban—remember them?—were responsible for the tragedy of September 11, 2000. Yet the perpetrators weren't Afghanis but Saudis, and all the reports indicated that it was Saudi Arabia that openly funded and supported anti-American sentiment in Mid-Eastern countries. The unelected president and his gang were aware of this truth. Why the lie?

This is the man who warned the Congress about Sadam Hussein possessing "weapons of mass destruction," that proved to be non-existent and prompted the invasion of Iraq. Why the lie?.

Bush Jr. is the man who talks of protecting the environment, but has had laws passed that will unleash corporate exploration in previously protected forests and restricted environments. Why the lies?

This is the man who berates the United Nations organization for not supporting his invasion of Iraq and is trying to intimidate it into taking some responsibility for cleaning up the mess his Administration has made in that country.

This is the man who has approved the Patriot Act that removes the right of privacy from American citizens, and who has approved the totalitarian methods used to detain people merely suspected of finding fault with the U.S.

Mr. Bush is a man with a forked-tongue and a great shallowness of character. He has nothing but contempt for the intelligence of ordinary Americans and doesn't believe they can see his deceptions. But, they understand he sends young Americans to die unnecessarily in wars that benefit only the oil companies and seekers of empire. They understand the invasion has given American oil companies control of the second largest oil reserve in the world, and has placed Christian, American bases in in the heart of the Muslim world.

They understand the Administration's looting of the American Treasury is matched only by the looting of Ronald Reagan's Republican Administration, and that only Republicans would dare commit such outrageous thievery.

They understand the Administration's open-ended war on terrorism, can never end and can never be won, and that it is merely an excuse to give the Republican Administrations the "crisises" necessary to grasp emergency control of the republic.

The invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are not too different than the American invasion of the Philippines at the end of the Spanish American War. Neither the Afghanistanis nor the Iraqis want the American invaders to remain in their countries any more than the Filippinos wanted American invaders to remain in their country. But the American Establishment was driven to possess the resources of the Philippines and so persisted in its aggression, despite the obvious truth it was a brutal act of aggression, and that more Americans died in that little war than in the Spanish-American War preceding it—which, probably also, was instigated by the American Establishment.

The Establishment media in 1898 made it appear as if a war against Spain-to free Cuba- was a glorious fight for freedom, just as it does today with its invasion of Iraq. But the only freedom fought, then, and now, is the freedom of greedy men to violently take by brute force what they want.

The Republican media clamored for impeachment when a Democratic president displayed poor judgment in sexual activities, but has been strangely silent at a Republican president's lying to the Congress: a lie resulting in an American invasion of Iraq and the unnecessary deaths of thousands of young Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis. Why the lie? Where's is the demand for impeachment?

Mr. Bush and his gang successfully evade all attempts to gain knowledge of theirhow and where they received information leading up to their making of policies since taking office, and unless the American public shakes off its lethargy and aggressively demands a thorough, independent investigation, impeachment will take a miracle.

Of course, Bush and the Republican hierarchy believe such a miracle will never happen. The odds are their belief will prevail.
