Specifically, do you mean economic policies? How about the tax cut which
benefitted the wealthiest 5% as much or more than all others combined?
How about slashing the budget for many programs, from education to
national parks, used by the "average citizen" but the wealthy have no
need of, without any compensating cut in taxes or fees or whatever?

Do you think it will benefit "the common man" in the USA, or anywhere
else in the world, that the Bush Administration is basically sticking
it's head in the sand and saying 'Everything will turn out OK'? Maybe i
shouldn't complain too hard, at least they're pretending to do something
about Korea, after a few years.
