[482] Of State of the Union 2005
February 2nd, 2005 by Hafiz Noor Shams
Are you folks ready for our annual laugh?
I hope Bush has finally learnt his past mistakes, or else. Five more minutes and oh, I can’t wait to listen to him.
p/s – alright. I take that back. It was good, at least to me and especially how he brought the social security issue to the table. I understand how the social system is flawed but I’m not sure privatization is the right solution. Regardless of that, I prefer one, instead of letting somebody else or the government to finance one’s own future. The current system put the unnecessary burden on the wrong generation.
The environment though, received scant attention. Bush wants to encourage hydrogen fuel – something that he said in his last address. I’m not sure if he is actually trying anything at all though.
He also mentioned about cutting down spending while making tax cut permanent. Heh! Reagan wanted that too. I don’t think cutting down both taxes and spending simultaneously is easy, if impossible is not the right choice of word. It is easier said than done, still.
pp/s – Low Culture is having some fun on Bush. More should be coming, considering how the authors love Bush. I’ve been reading the blog for a couple weeks now and I like it. It’s now under blogroll.
