They don't have to make sense. They don't even have to care about making sense. 1) The people who vote for this administration and believe in it are basically stupid. If you want to be nice about it, they are anti-intellectual. 2) People who shout and scream that the Bush administration is acting in the manner typified by this picture are labelled intellectuals and thus are not listened to by the segment of the electorate that put this administration in office. 3) The people who actually bankroll this administration need for the majority to be stupid enough to keep spending all their money and working for too little money to keep the bankrollers swimming in profits. 4) The administration needs to keep the bankrollers happy so that they, the corrupt government "servants," can continue rolling in slush money and exercising/abusing their voter-granted power.
The only solution to this is to make being an intellectual "sexy" again, and make being educated the It thing to be. Educated people think, argue, and don't tend to vote for idiocy like this twice unless they have tied their own interests to an engine like this. (IE Karl Rove, a cunning and intelligent man who knows he's in the eye of a BS hurricane and loves it)
