The late, great, Cleveland-raised, Rock'n'Roller, Edwin Starr sang the question: "War, huh, what is it good for?"
It used to be good for getting an economy rockin' and rollin.' But, apparently, WAR did not work. Let me take that back. WAR worked to line the pockets of members of the Friends of George the Lesser. George's friends over at Texaco are dancing in the streets with the highest gasoline prices in history and the biggest gas guzzling vehicles being sold to a gullible American public.
The approval ratings of George the Lesser are going down. People are less likely to vote for him now than they were just six months ago. So, what does George the Lesser do?
I put my finger on it when I saw him standing in the rain yapping -- wait, that was the puppy wanting to go out -- flapping his gums about putting people back to work by cutting taxes. He was blah-blah-blah'ing about stimulating the economy by cutting taxes and putting money in our pockets to spend and to save.
Then it hit me.
George Bush the Lesser had dusted off the '80's Republican Playbook!
Reaganomics and Laffer Curves are back!
Spend money we don't have in the national coffers!
Cut taxes!
Deficit spending!
Create the biggest deficit in history!
Blame the Democratic Congress! Oops! Can't do that!
