President Bush news conference

Here comes President Bush claiming the federal government has an important role to play.

They have played their role and messed up the country. People wouldn't need rescue if they had to take of themselves. Socialism breeds disaster.

Chertoff is scary. I don't like him anymore after watching his statements. He does not understand the proper role of government. Without that restraint he is dangerous.

The president has no authority to put price controls in place. Messing with strategic petroleum reserve is a flawed attempt to control the economy. He has no authority or obligation to control the economy or gasoline flow. We need a law to make loans from oil reserve impossible. It should only be used for war.

The private sector is the only legal source of disaster relief.

President Bush asked for $10,000,000,000 in aid. With 300 million americans that is #33 for everyone. I am financially responsible for 6 of those americans so I just "donated" $200.
