Ronald Reagan spent BILLIONS on defeating the Soviet Union.
Evidently SAVING American lives is not a worthy cause to some so called conservatives.
You should know better then to peddle that junk around here. This has nothing to do with spending on national defense and security matters. Conservatives want to see increases in the military budget. At the same time, conservatives want to see other spending decrease. The current GOP Congress and this President have expanded welfare and entitlement in the federal bureaucracy like never before. The fact that PresBush refuses to veto anything doesn't help matters.
we are past the "saving lives" phase of this. what are we spending $200 billion on? does anyone know?
