Solution to Economic Woes...

Just have Tom DeLay fundraise for the damn country.

It's official (once again). This country is ruled by idiots:

Beginning this week, the House GOP lawmakers will take steps to cut as much as $50 billion from the fiscal 2006 budget for health care for the poor, food stamps and farm supports, as well as considering across-the-board cuts in other programs. Only last month, then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Tex.) and other GOP leaders quashed demands within their party for budget cuts to pay for the soaring cost of hurricane relief.

DeLay told a packed room of reporters on Sept. 13 that 11 years of Republican rule had already pared down the federal budget "pretty good." If lawmakers had suggestions for cuts, DeLay said he would listen, but he was not offering anything up [......]

But Republicans could be taking a big risk by cutting Medicaid programs while their standing in the polls has plummeted and Democrats gear up for a fight. "We have seen a sea change in the budget policies of House Republicans," said Thomas S. Kahn, the Democratic staff director of the House Budget Committee. "Clearly, the RSC's influence over their budget policies is in the ascendancy."

So, I bet a week's worth of coffee that they ain't cutting their tax cuts.

Does this even make sense? Gosh, they pay automakers to drill us to natural disasters and foreign dependency with their SUV's, and I've even grown to accept that sad fact. I can't believe they have the NERVE to do it at the expense of the PEOPLE, dammit.
