loose on the facts here, but this is how I see it....
someone said that the Iraq war would cost hundreds of billions after cheney/rumsfeld/wolfowitz estimated only 60 billion......so that one person was dismissed/resigned/fired.
Former Treas/Sec O'neill disclosed that the iraq invasion had been planned even before 9/11 had occurred. O'neill resigned while 'loyal' admin folks denied this report only to have more documents released later that actually show this to be correct.
Medicare overhaul costs were misrepresented by various administration people while near threatening Rick Foster, the agencys chief actuary, that the consequences of revealing the real costs would be severe. Later the real costs are revealed to be nearer to twice the misrepresented cost of 400 billion.
Thats just a few for starters.....One would have to assume that either the administration is doing everything it can to stretch/bend/twist the truth in order to pursue Bushs political agenda or he truly lives in a bubble staying out of touch with reality in middle america.
