This week the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high and continues to climb. Yesterday, the DOW closed at 11,850 shares, breaking the record it set the previous day. That’s remarkable, it’s like a 100 meter sprinter breaking the record in the Olympic time trials and then coming back and breaking it again. On drugs of course.

Along with the ‘War On Terror’ you can bet George Bush will continue to hammer home the strength of the economy. He will continue gloating like the proud father of a bully who just beat up a smaller kid on the baseball diamond.

This is a massive accomplishment for big business and they have done it merely by cutting health care, wages and exporting American jobs overseas. And Business CEO George Bush and his Republican Board have ensured that there is a proper arena for such practices to flourish.

The federal minimum wage has not been raised since 1997, still standing at $5.15 an hour. Meanwhile, Congress has given themselves several raises, including one just this year. But hell they deserve it, look at that DOW, it’s breathtaking! And it’s as inflated as the Goodyear Blimp.
