\nnot just a callous affirmation of his criminal regime, or a foul disregard of human rights at home
\nand abroad, but most of all an overarching moral hypocrisy. Well, it’s payback time for the
\nmajority’s willingness to look the other way when odious policies are carried out in its name.
\nIronically, none other than Georgie Boy — a man you can trust to screw the stupid American
\npeople — and his minions have come up with the all-time monster
\npayback<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>. <\/P>

\nThis morning, Paul Krugman writes<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> in The
\nNew York Times, “… now that the right is running Washington, it’s trying to turn the clock back
\nto 1932.” Which is all part of Georgie Boy’s payback. “The attempt to ‘jab a spear’ through Social
\nSecurity complements the strategy of ‘starve the beast,’ long advocated by right-wing intellectuals:
\ncut taxes, then use the resulting deficits as an excuse for cuts in social spending.” I think of it as
\nAmerica’s comeuppance. And who better to deliver the screwing than Georgie Boy. <\/P>
