Oh, that economy

Over at Winston Smith's tBlog, he explains some economic realities that don't run on par with the line Bush tried to feed us:

Bush is not creating the basis for a prosperous economy standing firm on a stable, solid foundation-- Bush is spending borrowed money-- and the wealthy, the rich, and the corporations aren't going to pay the bills, my friends. The exorbitant bills are to be paid for by "We the People" ... according to the Bush Doctrine: "Only the Little People Pay Taxes & Bear Burdens" ... In Bush's convoluted, simple mind: "We the People" = "Little People" ... The Bushies don't give a damn about anyone unable to contribute at least $100,000 to their campaign!

An example:

Bush was fund-raising again last week, and while in Columbus, Ohio, actually had the unmitigated gall to smirk:

CLAIM: "The tax cut was good for job creation. The two tax cuts were an integral part of creating the conditions for growth."

- President George W. Bush, in Columbus, OH 10/30/03

FACT: "Columbus has lost 16,000 jobs since President Bush took office – almost 2% of the city’s entire workforce."

- Bureau of Labor Statistics, Metropolitan Report, 10/29/03

Whoops. That's not exactly telling the truth.
