Letter: King George W. leads us down the wrong path

Friday, Aug. 24, 2001 | 4:29 a.m.

Maybe George W. Bush is right and we should return this country to the way it was before FDR brought us the New Deal and social conscience. In today's world greed, selfishness and ego are the bywords of our society. No one cares about his neighbor.

Bush is not just interested in undoing advances gained during the Clinton administration, but also destroying Social Security and Medicare and other social programs that have brought a sense of economic stability to the nation. His tax plan and lack of a good, well thought-out budget are leading us back into the era of deficit spending. And the progress made over the last 70 years is being sent to the government's big paper shredder.

Too bad that there is no referendum process by which the people can repeal his actions and dethrone "King George W."
