I really hope someone of sound mind will block some of this funding, before our great grandchildren get screwed.
I don't understand this guy. Just 2 days ago Bush promised a pile of money to the U.N. for his "war on poverty". WHERE IN THE HELL IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM!? He must own a magical castle where oompa loompas make money out of lemon drops and chocolate bars. Conservative my ass.
Actually, even before Katrina, President Bush has been on record as the greatest spender of any president, both in raw dollars (which is meaningless) but in REAL numbers--that is, percentages devoted to social welfare, etc.
President Bush initiated NEW welfare programs that LBJ could not even dream of while drunk--things like downpayment for home money to minorities, $15 billion to Africa., etc. Heck, I think George Bush spends more on welfare for foreign nations than LBJ spent domestically on USA citizens.
A non-Marxist approach is to stop all foreign aid and transfer money from other social welfare programs in the budget to pay for this. Considering about 65% of all spending goes toward welfare, there is over $1 TRILLION in FY 2006 that can be reshuffled to pay for this mess by cutting back an equal amount somewhere in that $1 TRILLION welfare spending (Superfunction "Human Resources"). Bill O'Reilley stated abut $380 billion in "entitlements". Human Resources includes "entitlements" as well as other social welfare programs.
Our socialism makes Europe's system look like our Founding Fathers' vision of limited government. This makes me ill.
"I have moved President Bush from my list of top 5 presidents to the list of bottom 5 presidents, after he committed so much money to a lost cause."
I noticed he was all broken up about that. Man, how will he ever be able to carry on?
