WP: Bush to seek $60 billion for Iraq

[Insane3D]

Talk about a money pit...

Link

Sept. 4 ? The White House has informed congressional leaders that it is preparing a new budget request for between $60 billion and $70 billion to help cover the mounting costs of the reconstruction and military occupation of Iraq, sources on Capitol Hill said last night.

THE PLANNED request ? which congressional budget analysts said will be nearly double what Congress expected ? reflects the deepening cost of the five-month-old U.S. occupation and serves as an acknowledgement by the administration that it vastly underestimated the cost of restoring order in Iraq and rebuilding the country?s infrastructure.

Wow, that's chump change. Can't Bush just throw that on his Gold Amex? Think of the points! Seriously though, I wonder how many new power grids that could have bought the East Coast? I wonder how many extra teachers we could hire nationwide with that money? It's too bad Congress can't just say "no." Congress really needs to learn to say "no" more often. It would earn them some respect for a change.

bush is all about people doing what they want with their tax money right? like with school vouchers?


how about republicans shouldering the burden of iraq by themselves. make it an republican exclusive tax to support iraq.

Bush can take $60 billion of his & his oil buddies own money to finance their little jack-off excusion. I'll be damned if he's taking my tax & retirement money for his greedy little delusions of grandeur - I'll be sure my congressmen know we want them to vote against financing Bush's costly little jack-off sessions.

OK - so I don't want to pay for SS or any other program the Democrats want to make me pay for. Why don't they get their nice little philanthropist buddies to pay for them? I'll gladly pay for the war if you pay for SS

[phillyTIM]

They should, who is paying their salaries and put them in office.

We all need to write our congressional representatives and voice our opinions on this. And make them vote for us, not vote their partisan politics.

Isn't Iowa living off farm subsidies? I don't want to hear budget and tax advise from a bunch of leeches.

The problem is that Iowa benefits more than it pays, and California benefits less than it pays.
And second problem is that you are the one complaining about paying too much taxes.

California doesn't benefit from Ag subsidies? News to me. Seems that they took the dairy crown from Wisconsin not too many years back with the help Corporate Ag subsidies.
Again - do you know where I stand on the Gov't subsidizing the Ag industry? Nope - you don't
My position is rock solid.

Bottom line is the blue states pay in more than they get back.

The red states get more back than they pay in.

It's kinda' like welfare on a state level.

Gee, and I thought welfare as we know it had ended. I guess you Repubs are still on welfare though.

What? In what twisted sense do the less populated states "get more". I'd really like to see what you are trying to say.
Keep in mind that MOST of your food comes from us here in the Midwest - you'd be screwed without us

Yep. The midwest is the breadbasket. I guess that's why all those ag subsidies go to all those "family" farmers. As long as the family is ConAgra or another one of the other agro biz giants.

 

[BOBDN]

Oh and the less populated states get more in federal dollars than they pay in taxes.

The money comes from the more populated states getting less back than they pay in taxes.

I see my tax money being pissed away every night when I watch the news on that mess in Iraq. Every bomb that that is dropped, missiles fired and bullets shot is money out of my pocket with absolutely no gain for me. Every second a soldier is in Iraq, whether he is sunbathing or getting shot at is more of my money going to waste.

If you can pay for the war an not social security I won't have a problem with it as long as you don't try to collect SS cheques when you need it. Priorities... lol. You can enjoy being a bum when you get old since you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you supported an unjust war and the murder of innocent Iraqis, while I'll be getting my cheque.

Cad, even you have to admit that you're dreaming if you think you're getting out of SS. The minute we stop paying in to it, the whole thing colapses, and I doubt the AARP/Boomers are about to let that happen.:Q

We are absolutely not going to let that happen after we paid SS all our lives. Now it's your turn. Stop complaining and do your job.
