It's the "on your own"ership society
i certainly can't claim credit for the title's cutesy phrase, but that's precisely what the bush administration has pursued since day one by attacking and/or dismantling every instance of an implied or explicit social contract...
truer words were never spoken... if you don't do well in bushworld, it's because you're lazy, stupid, and just plain no goddam good... don't come crying to us... if you're a good citizen, work hard, play by the rules, and do the best you can in bushworld, don't expect anything in return from the government you pay to keep in office... there is no quid pro quo in bushworld... your duty is to your government, period... only the strongest - and most unscrupulous - rise to the top... for the rest of you, tough shit...

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused the Bush administration on Tuesday of pursuing a policy of "social Darwinism" that leaves every man and woman struggling.
"It's a strategy that we've seen this administration pursue over the last six years, that basically says government has no role to play in making sure that America is prosperous for all people and not just some," Obama said to applause during an appearance before the Communications Workers of America.
