1. Actually, that's wrong
Edited on Wed Oct-03-07 12:51 PM by Jacobin
Its 35 billion over Five Years, or about $7 billion per year for health care.

Its 190 billion for war (plus all the emergency supplementals we know will be coming along) PER YEAR. Over five years its going to top a trillion dollars and you can book it.

4. We gotta keep our priorities straight
And war is far more profitable than children.

This could be lots worse: Think of what would happen if the Junta was not filled with compassionate conservatives.

5. No $$$ to help America's children; plenty of $$$ to kill Iraq's children.
Bush's Legacy.

8. SCHIP gets added to every piece of legislation...
Let Bush keep vetoing it until the government shuts down.

I wish we had some Democrats with balls.
