Bush Rules Out Tax Increase to Pay for Katrina Relief

Where is he going to get it? Some secret BushCo slush fund created by his rich oil buddies? The Saudis? He could not comment on the actual cost of this massive rebuilding of New Orleans revealed last night:

"It's going to cost whatever it costs," he said.

Bush said, "But I'm confident we can handle it, and I'm confident we can handle our other priorities. It's going to mean that we're going to have to make sure we cut unnecessary spending. It's going to mean we've got to maintain economic growth, and therefore we should not raise taxes."

The key words here: "cut unnecessary spending...” That's GOP language for screw you asshole. Like what unnecessary spending is to the Governator, Arnold? - Kill benefits and aid for nurses, teachers, firefighters, and police offers. So, if BushCo - in their deluded, un-capitalistic, just use Halliburton way - cut the "unnecessary" $73 million needed to upgrade the New Orleans levees only to cost some $200 Billion to save the city, what will he cut now? Social Security. We the poor folks of this country ever go unscathed? Will the rest of us 98% always pay the price for the BushCo's incompetence?

Once again, taxpayers pay the price for the mistakes of a man who never really has a plan for anybody but his corporate donors and himself...
