30 Reasons To Hate George W. Bush
1. The national debt under George W. Bush has increased so drastically that the average Americans estimated share of national debt will be an astronomical $24,000--compared to $500 when Dubya first took office.
2. Under Bush Jr. there are now 43 million Americans with no health insurance.
3. Responsible for an unemployment rate of 6%. There are now 9 million people out of work in America--3.3 million more than when Bush took office.
4. He cut healthcare benefits for war veterans.
5. Bush Jr. deserted his unit during Vietnam and was reportedly awol for over a year from his assigned unit: The Texas Air National Guard, or as its referred to by other military outfits, the champagne division.
6. Despite a 13% unemployment rate among those aged 16-24, Bush Jr. proposed
to eliminate youth opportunity grants--a program that provides job training to the nations youth. A $225M program in 2002 is now being done away with so Bush can have more money for Iraq.
7. He cut funding for 375,000 low income college students and reduced pell grant amounts to such a severe degree that it effectively caused 84,000 students to no longer be eligible for pell grants. Pell amounts have been overall reduced for 1.5 million students...its safe to say that the Bush daughters arent eligible for financial aid, so it wont effect the opulent lives of anyone Bush Jr. may know.
8. Withdrew from the International Criminal Court.
9. First president in U.S. history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. elections).
10. All-time U.S. (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
11. The Bush Administration had twice as many FBI agents fighting the drug war than fighting terrorism prior to 9/11. Even after 9/11, more than 2,000 FBI agents are wasting their valuable time assigned to the war on drugs.
12. His proposed free trade agreements would result in the loss of U.S. jobs to foreign markets and the exploitation of third world workers.
13. John Ashcroft.
14. He has taken 11 official executive actions to undermine reproductive rights...
How long will it be before a woman is stripped of her right to choose?
15. Failed to fulfill pledge to get Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
16. Wasted federal resources on a PR trip to Baghdad where he staged a Thanksgiving meal at 6 AM with troops that were screened based on their political affiliation. And the turkey? It was a prop.
17. His refusal to fire--or even reprimand--Lt. General Jerry our God is bigger than their God Boykin. Perhaps its because Boykin said of the president, George Bush was mot elected by a majority of voters in the United States. He was appointed by God. Hes in the White House because God put him there.
18. After sending troops off to die in an unjust and unprovoked war, he still has yet to attend any soldiers funerals.
19. He refused to buy adequate body armor for our troops in Iraq. A study done by a defense consultant reveals that approximately 25% of casualties could have been prevented with better armor.
20. Right before Christmas Bush Jr. cut overtime pay for over 644,000 employees who work over 40 hours a week.
21. He is a religious fanatic that believes in the apocalypse and that ONLY Evangelical Christians are eligible for the afterlife.
22. College tuition has increased 28% during the Bush Jr. administration.
23. Responsible for the highest U.S. trade deficit EVER: $43.1 billion dollars
24. Although he still claims that fighting terrorism is his main priority, Bush Jr. slashed the FBIs requested counterterrorism by two-thirds.
25. Bush Jr. is the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.
26. He slashed funding to the Violence Against Women Act.
27. Bush Jr. has set the record for the fewest amount of press conferences by a president since the advent of television.
28. Bush Jr. will go to great lengths to prevent investigations of his friends at Enron and Halliburton. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.
29. He pulled out of the Kyoto Agreement on global warming.
30. Choked on a pretzel and nearly lost his life while seated in front of a TV.
