Iraq/ContraGate - $700 million; MedicareGate: $150 billion
Edited on Wed Apr-21-04 09:57 PM by TruthIsAll
We are all worked up about Iraq-Contra, as we should be.
And we are spending $2 BILLION per WEEK in Iraq.

Not ONE, but a Thousand Impeachments are in order.

But what about the IMMENSE Medicare scandal? Over TWO HUNDRED TIMES AS COSTLY AS IRAQ/CONTRAGATE? And proven Repuke bribery, actuary threats in the House to buy votes for the passage of the Medicare Bill.

How quickly we forget. Its rapid-fire corruption on a scale not seen since Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin.

2. Uh huh. Still shouldn't have left out Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed.
And what's wrong with Teapot Dome, I'd like to know.

America's corruption not good enough for you?

4. BTW, it was Iran
The elimination of social programs has been on the right-wing agenda since before WWII. Their goal is essentially suppression of democracy at home and abroad, and war on their own citizenry.

The more they can reduce our civil liberties, reduce our benefits, and keep us terrorized by fear, the less we will question their authority or watch what they are doing.
