Shouldn't this be in the Orwellian double-speak thread?

Maybe we need an entire forum devoted to Orwellian Double-Speak?

That would be double plus good.

^^That's nice. You should join the Republicans because they are for everybody doing better and better whereas the dems would prefer their be a nice small elite class and then a large "head count" that they can control by way of entitlements.

Wow. EVERYBODY doing better and better? I've NEVER gotten that feeling from the GOP. Entitlements seem to be THEIR specialty.

I'm NOT a democrat, BTW.

So why has the poverty rate gone up every year that Bush has been in office?

Bush only gets 4 years when the dems had 60 to fight poverty...that's fair?

I'm not sure I see your point. Could you expand a bit?

The war on poverty started with FDR something like 65 years ago. It has cost us trillions upon trillions of dollars but has not caused the poverty rate to go down much at all. It has however managed to destroy many a family unit. Republicans have only had both houses of congress in conjunction with the White House for the last 4.5 years. I submit that the war on poverty is not a war on poverty but is a kinda slavery. Kinda like rescuing a bird with an injured wing and feeding it and keeping it safe from predators but never letting it fly away.
