Did "some" Dems just sell us out for $17 billion in PORK?

[Error]

"The bill funds the war through September as Bush wanted and does not set a date for U.S. troop withdrawals. In exchange for dropping restrictions on the military, Bush agreed to some $17 billion in spending added by Democrats to fund domestic and military-related projects."

Apparently it's too much for government to stop the dying as well as help people in need.
