Convinced that the Bush administration should be renamed, "The Apprentice" simply because, among other things, the theme song fits them like an OJ Simpson glove,
("$Money, $Money, $Money, $Moooooney...., $MONEY!!!) now motivates me to eleborate on
David Broder's, Washington Post story on the Bush administration's (3rd time's a charm) money laudering proposal, in the shapeshifter form of a tax cut.
On this day, June 7th, 2006, this becomes law.
Within the dark, murky, grotesquely disfigured and mostly indeciferable pages of this White House Office of Management and Budget proposal, stealthfully hidden in Column 8, Line 11 of Table S-7 on Page 324, lay the makings of the 3rd movie in the series, "Bush's 13".
READ ON:
An emotional, but rehashed docudrama about how 13 men and woman of the current Bush administration plan on fleecing 1.6 trillion dollars from the American tax payer and giving it to the poor and struggling wealth center's of our American economic machine. Companies like Exxon Mobile's record making
quarterly sales of $100 billion and Halliburton's
21 billion in revenues are of great concern to those mindful vultures, as these figures, among many others, clearly indicate how terribly uncompetitive American firms are becoming.
As with all great heist cappers, there must always be a diversion so that the money can be gotten to and retrieved. In this enlightening story there are, at the very least, 2. On the one hand, Bush's 13 point to how well the economy is doing to gain public support while at the very same time, foretells of impending doom should we not protect our corporations by giving them hugenormous cash back incentive's, (which by the way, will not be traced or figured into any budget anywhere, it just disappears) in a time of great profits. Well, that's sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
Here the jest of the disappearing trillions by Broder:
In fact, this analysis says, "The administration's proposal, by changing the rules after the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts were enacted but before they are extended, would ensure that the cost of continuing the tax cuts in the years after the current sunset dates would never be counted. The costs in those years were not counted when the tax cuts were first enacted. . . . Now, the administration is proposing that the tax cuts for those years also be ignored when the tax cuts are extended. To fail ever to count the cost of the tax cuts in the years after the sunset dates . . . would represent one of the largest and most flagrant budget gimmicks in recent memory."
Say goodby to 1.6 trillion dollars my good friends as of, NOW!!! 3% of the population will enjoy it. And to think, he could have salvaged Social Security with that money. But then again, these corporations need to pay their respective lobby and special interest incentive fee's. Which I would guess would be about 1.6 trillion dollars over the next 10 years, LOL!!!
I wonder what "Bush's 14" has instore for us?
