The REAL State of the Union
State of Crisis
1/20/04: In a State of the Union address tailor-made for his conservative constituency, Bush plugged the Patriot Act and the never-ending "War on Terror". While the government launches the biggest deficit in US history, the poverty level continues to skyrocket and millions of people are without homes or jobs. Of the six main segments of his speech, Bush focused two, same-sex marriages and faith-based initiatives, on enforcing "morality" as a new American value, while undermining gay and women's rights. As funding for education is funneled into defense contracts and prisons, schools continue to close down across America and children "left behind" are being pushed up to the front... of military lines. While the rest of the world continues to withdraw support for Bush's imperial reign, pundits quibble over the obvious: same old State of Crisis. Stay tuned for continued coverage of the State of Crisis on Street Level TV!
