WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Rick Warder called the accusations of Senator Alexander Shackleton "baseless" and "contrived," comparing Connecticut's junior senator to the late Ted Kennedy. "Senator Shackleton reminds me of a volcano getting ready to erupt," President Warder said. "I think Reverend Jesse Jackson must have possessed Senator Shackleton, so I am willing to forgive his recent jabs as a partisan indiscretion. I'm sure he'll work with the GOP across the aisle to pass this budget, along with its vital planks."
In a Rose Garden conference, President Warder delivered a presentation on the benefits of the budget:
"The 2009 budget I have put forward doubles - doubles, ladies and gentlemen - federal tax credits for start-up businesses and entrepreneurs. Many of these tax credits are, in fact, aimed at low income individuals to encourage them to get off welfare and become self-employed. I don't want the government to create jobs for people, I don't even want corporations to create jobs for people; I want people to create their own jobs. This massive investment credit and tax break - worth $87 billion - will enable anyone to get access to start up capital from a federal bank fund which will bypass the stringent bankruptcy conditions in the Bankruptcy Reform Act. Until the Bankruptcy Reform Act is repealed, I want every American citizen to have an opportunity to take a shot at his pot of gold. I don't want to keep the poor chained to welfare, I want to break their shackles and let them make their own prosperity and live the American dream..."
"At the same time I am plouging money into education, also aimed at low income families, in an effort to break the cycles of dependency that are generated by welfare. Senator Shackleton attacks my budget on the grounds that it hurts the poor - well, I intend to teach the poor how to fish, not just feed them from day to day."
President Warder refused to comment on Medicare, saying that Vice President Edgar C. Oswald and Senate Majority Leader Owen Williams would soon be addressing the press and making the Republican case on that subject.
"However, I want you all to know that this budget is a huge investment in America. I am, like I promised in my campaign, going through the budget with a fine toothed comb, rooting out waste and old, useless programs and funneling money into the future - like education, like business credits. I am cracking down on corruption and waste, eliminating $65 billion of big business corporate tax loopholes. At the same time, I am going to give our military what they need to finish the job in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in Syria, and make sure that America has the military wherewithal to defend herself and her allies, and the ideals for which they stand, whereever freedom is under attack."
