    Can Bush PUSH and shove in a depression

    The three point agenda you mention looks like the old shoes,a perfect fit.We can heave a sigh of releief knowing that there is now a changed world and a changing USA.Compared to 1930s the USA is looking more out and in recent years it is looking more out and poking its nose in the wrong places.with so much of liberal education and an increasing mix of nationalities in the Universities and work places the mind of politicians seem frozen and with agendas that obviiusly expose them pants down.Be it Foreign policy,Internal Security,Economic Agenda the whole approach is sorarity and fraternity oriented.Why is it that the focus on development of American business is currently driven by global defense spending concerns and not proactively engaging in technology to better lives.If more and more manufacturing and service gets outsoourced or outlocated then what is the extent of capabilities that can be enriched to make the ordinary American more competitive and less defensive.What about the growing and dangerous income desparities that might lead to frustrtion and kill initiatives.I think that some group of politicians have done their math in the event of glabal recession triggered by USA and how to benefit.Like taking what they can of value from a burning house
