Funding the Iraq war is not funding the American people

[Maggie_May]

We can bring our troops home but money to fund to keep them there is taking money from the American people. Congress and the Senate have a choice to make either fund the war or fund America its that simple. I am so tired of Bush's saying if the Democrats don't pass his 46 billion more for this war it is not supporting our troops. I say passing the bill is not supporting the American people and bring the troops home.

1. Do you actually think those in Congress give a rat's ass about American people?

The ONLY thing they give two hoots about is preserving their power..Get used to it..

2. That's been the whole goal of conservo philosophy

Spend enough on defense and phony wars and you drain any possibility of funding the social safety net, even if you're out of power. Because you can always guilt those silly Dem dupes into being more "balanced budget" minded later in the off chance they do get the WH.
