Bush Suggests that Americans Give to Charities to Help Out
We need to watch and see how much the US really does help out in this disaster. Bush is just famous for making these big promises and then not fulfilling them. He says we will go far beyond the 35 million. Lets just see!

In the meantime let the individuals of this country give the money - hey, people can just give their huge tax cuts.

1. I suggest Bush give to charities
$40M can go a LONG way instead of for a putrid coronation.

2. or how about the money for the war?
One year would probably rebuild the entire 12 country region.

9. $35 million for world catastrophe, $50 million for coronation
which is meaningless.

4. His attitude toward this whole thing is pissing me off.
Schroeder went back to Germany from vacation so that he would be there to help out. Bush didn't even make a statement until today - 4 days after this all happened.

And only offered 15 million until he was shamed into pledging more - but only in loans.

Got to keep that deficit down!

5. unless it's a swing state
then, the hated federal government will step in and donate billions, and the pres. will tell all the swing state voters how lucky they are that the gov. and the pres. are bros.

6. The dumb bastard seemed to giggle when he noted that the money
being allocated by the U.S. IS TAX PAYER MONEY, but be sure and give some more.

7. Let corporate americans do that. The rest of us need to pay for:
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:58 AM by HypnoToad
* Necessities
* Luxuries

We're dependent on them for both and their salaries confirm they're fleecing us dry.

I've already paid - by proxy. Now it's their turn to pay up - directly.

Just like how I donate to PBS by paying for products that Ford, et al, sell. I pay Ford, they pay to PBS. PBS airs their commercial.

Edit: Spelling

8. bush needs to campaign his corporate buddies and raise billions
like he did for his worthless campaign - his friends are the ones with the money - he can get billions for ads - he can get billions for humans if he really cared
