As far as I'm concerned, Bush is following the neocon course here. attempt to bankrupt the government and follow with massive gutting of social programs.
You're making way too much sense for this topic. We wouldn't want to actually have a simple solution that would only affect 3% of the population now would we? Instead we should put the entire population at risk.
