Bush Will Declare a State of Success, But Success For Whom?

Since President Bush has been in office, job creation has been abysmal, median household income has declined, 5 million more Americans have slipped into poverty, the number of uninsured Americans has grown by 6 million and millions more are worried about whether they will have the pensions promised to them. Our trade deficit, our national debt and energy prices are at an all time high. Meanwhile, the wealthiest people in our country have received huge tax breaks and have never had it so good. We must change the direction in which our country is moving so that government works for all Americans, and not just large corporations and wealthy campaign contributors.
