newspapers across the United States are losing readership to the point of having to shut off their presses. It's understandable after 1) reading the Denver Post this morning; 2) reading this terrific article in Salon; and 3) comparing the two. In the Post we get crappy news summaries and furniture ads on every page. Here we get a kick-ass summary of what the past eight years of the Bush Administration will cost our country. Way to go Salon.com. Way to go.
To me, one number rises above the others in this horror show of fiscal irresponsibility, is the original Bush Administration's estimate of the Iraq War's total cost at SIXTY BILLION dollars. The actual cost will be over THREE TRILLION dollars. The difference between the two is not fiscal irresponsibility, it is madness.
How can a handful of wingnuts cost our country so much without being held responsible in any real way?
Great work, Vincent and Gabriel. How about doing some more for us here?
(Oh, I cancelled my subscription to the Denver Post this morning.)
