Emergency Supplemental Appropriations:
The Dems are only using the supplemental appropriation for what it was INTENDED for. Katrina victims, spinach growers who suffered from the Ecoli scare and drought ridden regions are what supplemental appropriations are SUPPOSE to be spent on....not just wars. So, the psycho wants ONLY War Funds in the bill and doesn't want to help U.S. citizens? He'll pay dearly for his veto.

supplemental appropriation - Budget authority provided in an appropriations act in addition to regular or continuing appropriations already provided. Supplemental appropriations generally are made to cover emergencies, such as disaster relief, or other needs deemed too urgent to be postponed until the enactment of next year's regular appropriations act.

1. But he signed the republican bills
that hat 1.5 million dollars to refurbish a statue of Vulcan. 700M for a railroad with no destination. 400,000 for a parking lot in Alaska for a population of 300. What in the heck is wrong with these people.
