Under the radar

While the entire world concentrates on the coming war in Iraq—most with dread and sorrow, a few (including Dubya and his crew, Tony, and of course Osama) with slavering relish— the Bush government continues its unrelenting behind-the-scenes course of undermining American values, economic well-being, environmental conditions, and so on and so forth.  Buried on page A4 of Saturday’s Seattle Times was a compendium called Capital Watch, which included three well-hidden items.

One of those items—the Congressional Budget Office’s fast-rising estimate of the deleterious effects of GWB’s economic “stimulus” insanity—has been discussed in a number of places in the blogosphere, and even appeared in the mainline media, so I won’t talk about it here.  See, for example, Daily Kos and this Reuters story.
