"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
In his victory address, does Bush: Propose to use the oil money to pay down the defecit? Propose to use the oil money to try to stabilize the region? Propose to use the oil money to cut checks to Americans hurting from the recession? Propose to use the oil money to rejuvinate the public school system or expand the G.I. Bill?
No, no, no, and no.
He gives the oil concessions to American energy companies for pennies on the dollar. They conspire to keep prices high, Bush works to keep the taxes they pay to a minimum, and the rest of us don't see squat.
