Let me elucidate on the facts that dint our college dreams. This is what I like to refer to as an onslaught of Bush-ism which directly affects us the working class. One may ask where has all the money gone? Well, the money just passes us by like a wisp of clouds. Can president Bush pierce our hearts with an old rustic knife?
Since March 19, 2003- January 7, 2004, 8,848 U.S. soldiers in the army have been evacuated due to serious illness or injury. 557 U.S. Soldiers have died. (More die as you read) The National defense budget has spent a total of $399.1 billion in this fiscal year (2004) $379 billion goes to the Department of Defense, while only $17.6 billion goes to the Department of energy. Our beloved state of California is solely paying $12.2 billion for the war and growing.
Now these facts may seem illusive to many of us who wish to cease the derailing of our democracy.
- 1 B2 bomber= 12 Medical Centers
- 32.5 million Children could have been insured.
- 2 million students could have received a 4 year scholarship to any public university.
College Education and Tuition
- Nationally community college tuition increased 11.5%.
- California community colleges faced a 60% hike in tuition, the highest in the nation.
- Community colleges face cuts in financial aid, courses, and services.
What all this comes down to is plain and simple. It won't take a rocket scientist to figure this scheme out; this is not Hitler's master plan. Bush wants to bomb, invade Iraq, and feast on all the oil and make us the rural workers pay for the drudgery this man has planned. Enrich the rest of the rich folk who have an abundant amount of money, while my 63 year old father (The Rooster) works 65 hours a week to provide my family and I with the essentials.
Is this fair?
What a bunch of simplistic, repetitious, poorly written, elitist, propaganda drivel!
Do you really think that each bomber-not-purchased equates to medical centers built, or your college loan?
Do you really think there is no threat to us overseas, or that bad people do not exist? Do you really believe that ignoring evil will make it magically cease?
I HATE war, and hate even more that it is sometimes necessary. Your viewpoint can only spawn in the warm security provided by the blood of better men.

One can only hope that the people of the United States are as intelligent as the people of spain. They recognized that their leadership had gotten them involved in a war based on false pretenses, and was costing them too many lives.
Now- Spain woke up- when will we?

Indeed Marquez, I truly agree with you. BUT, Oh Mighty God, Vaht Can Ve Do? Yes these flawless Capitalist bastards don't care about anyone. It's always the same crap Democrats or Republicans, it will always be the same, "Yes, let's make a new bomber that can travel more than the speed of lightning!" Yes, Yes. "Oh but Mr. president what about our schools, our healthcare, our budget deficit and all the other million internal problems we have?" "Ah, Holy tornadoes sons, yoal always complaining and complaining, we'll get to that sweet tarts, but in meantime let's invade, invade invade, the Yankee way, YEEEEE HHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
