...... made and broke four years ago.
Four years ago, Bush promised he would privatize Social Security. He had his own party controlling the House and Senate. But he broke the promise.
Now he makes the exact same promise again, and the zombie robots in the audience applaud him for it.
In fact, the zombie robots applauded him for everything that he said.
My criticism of Bush here holds true, regardless of whether I favor or oppose privatizing Social Security. Now it so happens that I oppose it. But even if I did favor it, the fact is that Bush broke the promise that he made four years ago. And the zombie robots in the audience applauded him when it was clearly not justifed.
Republicans claim to believe in states' rights and limited government, but they prove themselves to actually love the opposite with their policies on assisted suicide, gay marriage, the war on drugs, corporate welfare, the Partiot Act, federal education policy, medicare coverage of prescription drugs, farm subsidies, and an imperialist military that wants to dominate and take over the entire world.
The Democratic response was just as bad, basically saying that people should look to the federal government to have all of their needs taken care of (which itself is bad enough) even though the Democrats have broken their promises repeatedly in the past, and many of their government programs that were enacted made the situation worse, not better.
Clinton's first two years with Democrats in the House and Senate did not pass national health care. Johnson's war on poverty turned working people into welfare recipients.
Politicians from both major parties love to talk about all the things that they are allegedlky going to do in the future, while they ignore their broken promises of the past, and the harm that was caused by the policies that they did enact.
