A new documentary being hailed as “an Inconvenient Truth for the U.S. Economy” exposes the ills of government spending under the Bush Administration, and our own unsustainable consumerism.

At the beginning of the Presidency of George W. Bush, I remember my dad, a conservative who grew up during the Great Depression, saying that President Bush is going to bankrupt our country. I remember naively and ignorantly thinking how can you bankrupt America? Of course, I have learned a lot about life since the Peace Corps and by being an American citizen under the Presidency of George W. Bush. Awareness is perhaps the only positive to fruition under the Presidency of George W. Bush.

The problems of unsustainable consumerism and government spending will further be exacerbated by environmental degradation. How anyone can continue to live in ignorance under the Presidency of George W. Bush is baffling. Blue or red pill?
