NEW YORK -- It is impossible to overstate the importance of tossing U.S. President George W. Bush back onto the unemployment lines in 2004. His illegitimate presidency isn't even half-over, yet Bush's disreputable Cabinet of tin-pot gangsters has already succeeded in causing irreparable harm to our great nation.

When President Bill Clinton left office in January 2001, he left behind a balanced budget and the expectation that we would pay off the entire federal deficit within eight years. The resulting interest savings could have gone to tax cuts, spending or both.

But Bush trashed years of fiscal discipline in mere months -- all to line the pockets of his wealthy donors with extravagant tax cuts they neither needed nor deserved. And that cynical cash grab wasn't enough, now he's pushing to make their disastrous kickbacks permanent!
