Bush’s Request for Wars Increases to $196 Billion
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007
“The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said that the cost of less than 40 days in Iraq would pay for health-care coverage for 10 million children for a year.”
The New York Times ran an interesting article this morning about President Bush’s request for more funding for the war in Iraq. What’s interesting to The Minority Report is how Mr. Bush can veto a bill that would restore cuts to health care for millions of our nation’s children and replace that spending on Armored Vehicles and operational costs for a troop surge that no one wanted. I don’t understand how these compassionate conservatives can spend more on killing people than they can on caring for them.
