Bush Proposes Higher Unemployment

In the middle of an economy troubled by high unemployment, Bush proposes increasing the number of people available to work. Brilliant.

Now I have nothing against immigrants -- in fact, I'd like to see completely open borders (no citizenship), so that labor could have the same freedom of movement that capital currently enjoys. However this is not the time to be increasing the size of the labor pool. I'd rather see this proposed policy change introduced along with an increase in the minimum wage, or some other pro-labor policy to balance out the effect. But if Bush were to consider the effects of his policies on the working class, he wouldn't be Bush anymore, would he?

I wish for a moment in time that Bush had a mind to think of this country as a person and not a thing. We have a very diverse and dynamic society these days and Bush isn't finding adaquite ways to maximize the potential of the nation. In my eyes he does just enouhg to be called President, but not enough for anyone to seriously call him leader.
