With President Bush's approval rating at an alltime low of 32%, is there anythign the American public do to show its outrage beside vote for the alternative Democrats in November? There is a lot of time between now and then at it implies that our democracy is now so inefficient that the public cannot demand changes and expect to be heard for months or years at a time.
The retired CEO of the reconstituted Standard Oil (Exxon/Mobil) was give a $350 millon dollar compensation package, that is $190,000 a day, which translates roughly to 4 times the average american family annual income. It is just wrong that we are paying in excess of $3.00/gallon at the gas pumps, and the big oil companies are making record profits. It is one thing to get a 5% increase in profits from last year, but this is just greedy and ridiculous.
I honestly believe that Connecticut politicians are by far the most corrupt group in the country. Two years ago, Governor John Rowland was forced to resign, convicted and sent to prison. Today, two more of his henchmen have pled guilt to various bad doings and are going to jail. If this happened in a bigger state, it would be national news. I don't know if that is good or bad.
