President Bush: The State of Empty Promises
January 23rd, 2007 by CD
This year the President will speak once again to the American public on how much he is committed to social and economical development. Last year he boldly announced in his speech about developing alternative fuel from switchgrass and other sources. Well here we are in 2007 and no research or developments have been made in that area. The President is full of lies and empty promises. He is all talk and no action when it comes down to providing and enhancing middle and lower class Americans.
So, when he speaks tonight on how much he plans to do in terms on energy, social and economic developments, I would say “Mr. Bush, what exactly have you done for us in those areas. Did you not say the same thing last year and the year before that….?”
A report done by Jennifer Parker of ABC News found out the following on the empty promises of President Bush .
- Promise Not Kept:
- Making Bush’s First-Term Tax Cuts Permanent
- Passing the Line-Item Veto
- Guest Worker Program
- Affordable Health Care
- Medical Liability Reform Legislation
- Baby Boomers Commission
- Make the Research and Development Tax Credit Permanent
- Pass Legislation to Ban Human Cloning
- Switch Grass and Other Fuel Technologies
- End Waiting Lists for AIDS Medicines in America
Now in all fairness he has made progress in the areas of hybrid car research and new technology for zero emission plants. It’s good that the Americans are investing hybrid car technology. But, in all honestly, we are far behind the Japanese in that area. The Japanese are at least 10 years ahead of American companies like Ford and GM with being able to produce efficient hybrid automobiles. One only needs to take a look at why Toyota and Honda are the best selling. Soon, Ford and GM will no longer be able to compete with better cars made from Japan.
In any event, I think we can be assured that the domestic issues that Mr. Bush is set to talk about tonight will be nothing more than a qwaking duck.
