http://www.dubyaspeak.com/freshdubya.shtml Fresh Dubya (The 15 most recent Dubya declarations) WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: I don't really understand. How is it the new [Social Security] plan is going to fix that problem? DUBYA: Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red. -- Dubya explains the virtues of his Social Security plan, Tampa, Florida, Feb. 4, 2005 To give you an example, in 2027, the system will be $200 billion short. In other words, they collect X amount of payroll taxes, but because baby boomers like me are living longer and have been promised greater benefits, we're $200 billion short that year -- that year. And the next year is bigger than $200 billion. In 3037, it's like $300 billion. And finally in 2037, it's $300 billion. -- Dubya goes long range, extending Social Security projections over 1000 years, Tampa, Florida, Feb. 4, 2005 Younger folks are going to be coming up in a world where either you got to raise taxes dramatically, borrow significant amounts of money, slash government programs, slash benefits in order to make that red in that chart go away. -- In case you were hoping for an "or" to go with Dubya's "either", don't hold your breath, Tampa, Florida, Feb. 4, 2005 Now, there's some rules, and it's important for you to know the rules. One, you can't take your money that you set aside in the personal account and go to the race track. ...Secondly, you can't pull it all out when it comes time to your -- you can't take it all and then go to the track. -- Is it just me, or do the first and second rules sound rather similar? Tampa, Florida, Feb. 4, 2005 We will pass along to our children all the freedoms we enjoy -- and chief among them is freedom from fear. ...The only force powerful enough to stop the rise of tyranny and terror, and replace hatred with hope, is the force of human freedom. ...America will stand with the allies of freedom to support democratic movements in the Middle East and beyond, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. ...And because democracies respect their own people and their neighbors, the advance of freedom will lead to peace. ... The beginnings of reform and democracy in the Palestinian territories are now showing the power of freedom to break old patterns of violence and failure. ... To promote peace and stability in the broader Middle East, the United States will work with our friends in the region to fight the common threat of terror, while we encourage a higher standard of freedom. ...We expect the Syrian government to end all support for terror and open the door to freedom. Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve. ... Our generational commitment to the advance of freedom, especially in the Middle East, is now being tested and honored in Iraq. ...And the victory of freedom in Iraq will strengthen a new ally in the war on terror ... We will succeed in Iraq because Iraqis are determined to fight for their own freedom, and to write their own history. ...We are standing for the freedom of our Iraqi friends, and freedom in Iraq will make America safer for generations to come. ...And we have said farewell to some very good men and women, who died for our freedom, and whose memory this nation will honor forever. ...Ladies and gentlemen, with grateful hearts, we honor freedom's defenders, and our military families. ...The attack on freedom in our world has reaffirmed our confidence in freedom's power to change the world. We are all part of a great venture, to extend the promise of freedom in our country... and to spread the peace that freedom brings. ...The road of Providence is uneven and unpredictable -- yet we know where it leads. It leads to freedom. Thank you, and may God bless America. -- Dubya offers a freedom-fest second only to his Jan. 20 inaugural address, 2005 State of the Union address, Washington, D.C., Feb. 2, 2005 Two weeks ago, I stood on the steps of this Capitol and renewed the commitment of our nation to the guiding ideal of liberty for all. ...We are witnessing landmark events in the history of liberty. ...And to the Iranian people, I say tonight. As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you. ... We will succeed because the Iraqi people value their own liberty. ... Americans recognize that spirit of liberty, because we share it. ...In the end, Iraqis must be able to defend their own country -- and we will help that proud, new nation secure its liberty. ...We are all part of a great venture ... to renew the values that sustain our liberty. -- And he tosses in some liberty for good measure, 2005 State of the Union address, Washington, D.C., Feb. 2, 2005 Nearly four years ago, I submitted a comprehensive energy strategy that encourages conservation, alternative sources, a modernized electricity grid, and more production here at home -- including safe, clean nukyular energy. ...We're working closely with the governments in Asia to convince North Korea to abandon its nukyular ambitions. ...Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nukyular weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve. -- One of the lower nukyular-counts we've encountered, but it's still there to enjoy, 2005 State of the Union address, Washington, D.C., Feb. 2, 2005 The United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else. That is one of the main differences between us and our enemies. -- Apparently he isn't counting the invasions, occupations and nation-building endeavors in Afghanistan and Iraq, 2005 State of the Union address, Washington, D.C., Feb. 2, 2005 We are in Iraq to achieve a result. A country that is democratic. -- (See above...) 2005 State of the Union address, Washington, D.C., Feb. 2, 2005 There has been enormous sacrifices made by some of our citizens in the spread of freedom. -- Vintage Dubya grammar, Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005 Civil rights is a good education. Civil rights is opportunity. Civil rights is home ownership. Civil rights is owning your own business. Civil rights is making sure all aspects of our society are open for everybody. -- Dubya simplifies the definition of (and challenges surrounding) civil rights to mean education, opportunity (for what, he doesn't specify), home ownership, business ownership and the ambiguous concept of openness, and does this unflinchingly and with a consistent lack of singular/plural agreement, before the Congressional Black Caucus, Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005 DUBYA: how old is your child, Carl? CARL: Fourteen years old. DUBYA: Yes, 14. Well, if she were -- CARL: He, sir. DUBYA: He, excuse me. I should have done the background check. She will -- when she gets ready to -- when she's 50, the system will be broke, if my math is correct. -- Since Dubya's pronouns are incorrect, I'd be a little skeptical of his math, too. Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005 Vladimir Putin -- I have discussed with Vladimir Putin some of his decisions. I will continue -- as you might remember in our meeting in Chile. I will continue to do so. I will remind him that if he intends to continue to look West, we in the West believe in Western values. -- Dubya leaves his diplomatic hat in the closet yet again, Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005 But in my meetings with Chinese leadership in the past, in my meetings with Chinese leadership in the future, I will constantly remind them of the benefits of a society that honors their people and respects human rights and human dignity. -- Going the extra mile by promising to travel back in time to past meetings with "Chinese leadership", Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005 Surveys show that the vast majority of people do want to participate in democracy. And, ahh, some are feeling intimidated. I urge alls people to vote. -- Yes, that's what he said. But don't worry. The White House transcript was thoughtfully printed without the "s". Washington, D.C., Jan. 26, 2005
That made no sense what so ever. My god he is a idot. He has no idea what he is doing. Why not focus on medicare it will go empty before social security. His ideas are so out of order.
Four more years of this. Look at the bright side: We just invested $280 billion of SS in Iraq. On a more upbeat philosophic side: Dubya makes people feel good, because they can always look at him and say, "Man, at least I'm not that dumb!" Or: Dubya is to America what Larry was to the Three Stooges. You can do without him, but it just wouldn't be as funny.
"-- that year. And the next year is bigger than $200 billion. In 3037, it's like $300 billion. " 3037? Heh heh.
[billy madison] What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. [/billy madison]
hes not funny he's just dumb Remember the clips of george bush trying to be funny? Oh man those are priceless.
