BUSH LEAVES FOUL STENCH IN HIS WAKE
By Bill Gallagher

"I've never felt more energized and more capable of getting the American people to realize there is a lot of unfinished business." -- President George W. Bush.

DETROIT -- There is frightening truth in commander guy's claim of relevance, with 15 months left in our long national nightmare. He has plenty of time to take care of business, and that means more violence and suffering and even greater hostility toward the United States and less security for the American people.

Bush has no intention of going gentle into that good night. His family business and that of his sponsors is to use politics and influence as a means of dominating the world's energy resources to sustain and increase their wealth. It is as simple as it is ruthless.

Their domestic agenda is largely finished. Their tax rates are down, especially on dividends and unearned income. The massive government debt created as a result is now disproportionately burdening middle-class, wage- earning American workers.

Bush's base -- the wealthiest 1 percent -- has never had it better. They are richer than ever as the median income for most Americans is stagnant or sinking. This redistribution of wealth does create long-term conditions for social unrest, but Bush and his country club pals don't worry about that as long as they have theirs.

The much-needed fix for Social Security and Medicare will be somebody else's worry. The same goes for health care, as corporations are saving billions of dollars, with nearly 50 million Americans without health insurance.

The civic leeches and reliable Republican campaign donors -- the drug and insurance companies and private hospitals -- are raking in tons of money in a failed system rooted in greed and sustained by buying off the political whores who disdain "government" health care, unless, of course, they are covered by it.
