OH...ok.

No problem. I don't get economics. YOu don't read so good.

Occasional. So occasional entire websites are devoted to documenting them.

That's what I love about capitalism. If there is a market, there will be a product.

Bush claims he is a free trader.
**flip flop**
Tariffs on steel imposed.

>>>>>Bush it taking care of American industry...thats his job.

Bush says Arafat should stay.
**flip flop**
Arafat should go.

>>>>He never said he should stay permanantly...he tried to give him a shot. Clinton kissed Arafat's ass and Arafat took advantage.

A new government agency is not needed.
**flip flop**
A new government agency is needed, afterall.

>>>>Agency is needed or atleast reorganization. Again Bush trying to protect Americans.

Bush contends that he will never allow stem cell research.
**flip flop""
Bush allows stem cell research.

>>>>Bush is allowing research on EXISTING stem cells. This will help us understand this new technology.

Since you defend the right to "protect" Americans, surely you also agree with other protectionist measures enacted to "protect" Americans. Do you agree with minimum wage laws to protect hard working Americans from unfair employers? Do you agree with federal regulations to protect the price of rising pharmaceutical costs? According to your philosophy you must.

Clowns have always had a market. All the world loves one.

Well, I'm going to eat and work out. I'm gonna stop and get a copy of the "Idiot's Guide to Economics" to read on the stairmaster.

"Economics for Dummies" is a better read. Good pictures.

Any smart executive surrounds himself with talent. I wasn't there, and neither were you, but I'm sure Bush received and continues to receive briefings from subject matter experts like Condolezza Rich and Paul Wolfowitz rather than rely soley on what he already knew.

Wouldn't you?

Most of Bush's views are based on information he has been given from his advisers or Cheney. Bush is not an intellectually curious person who deciphers information on his own or attempts to find a new angle to a given situation. Part of the problem with Bush's foreign policy now is that he can't decide which adviser's philosophy to adopt: Should he take the more modern Powell stance on Israel or should he take the more conservative Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld approach? At least Reagan had his own independent philosophy, the same can't be said for Bush.
