Subject: RE: BS: State of the Union
I watched. I listened.
The first part about the economy was a lot of spending proposals. One billion for hydrogen car research.The thought there was a good step in the right direction, and he made it sound good that we need to become less dependent on other peoples oil.MO- not enough money and to long a period of time to get it going.
4 billion aid package to help Africa and the AIDS crisis.MO-It's about damn time.
Tax cut where a family of four will end up paying $45.00 a year on income tax. MO- The country won't be able to afford his war at that rate. Although it is considering the fact that they will more than likely lose their family deductions and end up paying more than they are getting back now.
And there was more but someone else can take over on the economy speech.

Then came the second part. Bush is ready to go to war. He always was.With or without the rest of the world behind US he wants to take Saddam down. He revealed some things that were not heard, like people playing games with the inspectors. Saddam not destroying weapons and showing no proof of this.
He also touched on Korea, but they said that's going on the back burner for now. Imagine that.
enough from me.
