Bankrupting America

The last few days the Dunce in Chief has cited Osama bin Laden's objective of bankrupting the United States. Today, the budget office took great pride in announcing that the budget deficit for the fiscal year ending this month was only $300 million. Apparently even this number is an underestimate based on the various IOUs the government has given social security etc. This means that at the end of this year, the US owes an additional $300 million over and above what we owed a year ago. We actually owe in the trillions.

Given the terrorists stated goal, does Bush understand that cutting taxes and launching a war of choice which widens this gap takes us closer and closer to al Qaeda's goals every day. All it will take is for Japan or China to call in a few markers and we will be bankrupt. Not to mention the fact that we can't afford to fix New Orleans. When we can't afford to take care of our obligations at home means we are very close to bankruptcy (companies file for Chapter 11 to ward off creditors in this situation).

The Dunce-in-Chief doesn't get that his approach to the terrorist threat (spend, spend, spend) plays directly into bin Laden's hands.

This new tack may be part of a more sinister plot to abdicate their responsibility for homeland security. Just this week, Chertoff the Jerkoff said it wasn't possible to protect everything. This is likely a defensive move against Democratic criticism that the administration has failed to do enough to protect traffic through our ports, our borders, or just do anything competently I guess.
