Bush's Successes

Dear Reader,
I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow Americans
saying that the presidency of George W. Bush is a
failure. With the string of successes he's had,
nothing could be further from the truth. Let me list a
few:
1. He has successfully rid America of that troubling
budget surplus and turned it into a $500 billion
deficit.
2. He has successfully helped America's trading
partners have the highest trade surplus with us in
America's history.
3. He has successfully lowered the taxes for the
richest Americans and corporations at the expense of
99% of the American population.
4. He has successfully started another Viet Nam in
Iraq after lying to the whole world.
5. He has successfully pushed the price of gas up to
the highest level ever here in America.
6. He has successfully allowed American corporations
to dramatically increase their pollution.
7. He has successfully thrown about 10% of the
population out of work.
8. He has successfully allowed corporations to export
our best middle-class jobs.
9. He has successfully divided our country as never
before.
10. He has successfully driven our oldest allies away.
11. He has successfully united the terrorists as never
before (he said all along he was a uniter, not a
divider).
12. He has successfully broken his oath to uphold the
constitution of the United States of America.
13. He has successfully united Democrats (yay!) as
they haven't been for years (I told you he was a
uniter).
14. He has successfully driven me out of the
Republican party for the rest of my life.
You know, with a string of successes like that, it's a
wonder America is still standing.

You HOPE for the option to live on base, but out of the three bases I lived at so far, we have only lived on base once, and it was only for 7 months (during his training).

Questions, and I'm really not looking for a partisan answer, I'm seriously curious. Being from a family that has served, but not aware of anyone serving now, I'm not getting any firsthand info anymore. So please take this as just a curious person asking.
Does it ever bother the military personnel that there isn't adequate housing, paycuts for those serving in Iraq, VA hospitals closing or benefits lagging as much as 6 month or more - or do they just take it as the status quo like "Oh that's the Air Force/Army/Navy, etc for you. You know what you're getting when you enlist"?
Do hear the same stories we do in the US of the troops running out of things they need or running low on ammo?
How was the news of troop allignment received there (I beleive you said you were in Germany?)?
Lastly, what kind of news coverage do you get there and from who?
I understand if you can't or don't feel comfortable answering some of this. I'm sure the code that the military personnel follow is also followed by the spouse/family.
Super questions, mnmgla!

<<..we decided that I should be stay at home mom because we would have ended up breaking even if we had to pay for child care, car payment, groceries, all the wonderful unexpected events of life, just had to pray the car wouldn't break down it wasn't easy at all but we made it.>>
That was one of the reasons I decided to stay at home.

Thanks again. I was just curious to see if it was mostly Fox or something that you got. Glad to see you get some diversity in your media sources. :-)
