if youre earning less with higher prices for medical/dental, and lower prices for goods...how is it much different from earning more with lower prices for medical/dental and high priced goods?

seems to me like it has to potential to balance itself out.

no because when the healthcare industry has to balance out the fact that they need more money to pay the bills for their lower priced goods you think they are going to eat the cost, outsourcing sucks for a while, but you have to decide if you want to pay more for the same things or not

but back to the bush stuff: he is a god and you all know it

President George W. Bush is taking powerful anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has learned.

The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can impair the President’s mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration aides admit privately.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” says one aide. “We can’t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.”


Angry Bush walked away from reporter's questions.
Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters' questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.

“Keep those motherfuckers away from me,” he screamed at an aide backstage. “If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts.

Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a “paranoid meglomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.

“I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. I felt he was disturbed,” Dr. Frank said. “He fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated.”

Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.

The doctors also worry about the wisdom of giving powerful anti-depressant drugs to a person with a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and stories about his cocaine use as a younger man haunted his campaigns for Texas governor and his first campaign for President.

“President Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies,” Dr. Frank adds.

The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this article.

Although the exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior are not known, White House sources say they are “powerful medications” designed to bring his erratic actions under control. While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the President’s annual physical, details of the President’s health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that surround the President.

Veteran White House watchers say the ability to control information about Bush’s health, either physical or mental, is similar to Ronald Reagan’s second term when aides managed to conceal the President’s increasing memory lapses that signaled the onslaught of Alzheimer’s Disease.

It also brings back memories of Richard Nixon’s final days when the soon-to-resign President wandered the halls and talked to portraits of former Presidents. The stories didn’t emerge until after Nixon left office.

One long-time GOP political consultant who – for obvious reasons – asked not to be identified said he is advising his Republican Congressional candidates to keep their distance from Bush.

“We have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United States is loony tunes,” he says sadly. “That’s not good for my candidates, it’s not good for the party and it’s certainly not good for the country.”

Total BS

The presidents health is public knowledge and if that were true would have leaked before now

Why should Bush have to give a flying fuck what France and Germany have to say. They are against the iraq war because they had special weapons for oil deals going with saddam.

Ahh, the propoganda, and ignorant people who follow.

Car, I don't hate anyone. I read the facts, which apparently, a lot of people in here don't. If I thought that Bush was better for our country, by all means, stay president. But the guy is a redneck good ol' boy trying to make a buck. These findings are not just coincidence, they are downright obvious.

sorry, screwed that last one up.....Anyway....where did you come up with this stuff? The Federal Govt doesn't pay nurses--hospitals do. Further, state govts are responsible for most of a teacher's pay (Federal Funding only comes from programs and grants). I can't think of a thing Bush has done wrong. I am not in love with the Patriot Act but I'll make it. At least he kicked ass. Clinton tapped it.

Let's put this whole discussion into proper perspective.

actually i thought he was from a rich family and went to country clubs, i know rednecks, and just cause GW has a little twang in his voice doesn't make him a redneck good ole boy, that just seems one of the things people say to try to make the president look dumb and explain his reasoning behind things they don't agree with

Jimi

No, I am in the middle of Texas good ol' boy country, I knows one when I sees one....... the guy is a rancher. And, just because he's rich doesn't mean he's not trying to get more rich. Lots of people are greedy, such as this guy.

No ones forgot that, and no one is claiming that it is a bad thing. But that's not the reason we went to war. If we were going to war to help the Iraqi people that should of been the reason in the first place. Instead it only became the justification when we didn't find any weapons of mass destruction. Besides if we really cared about the kurds in Iraq we would have done something back during the Reaga\Bush Sr's terms when they were actually committing the genocide. Not to mention, if we are so humanitarian, why aren't we in Africa stopping the current genocide thats going on there.
