that he is doing EXACTLY what they have been railing against the democrats for: Denying funds to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The pork in the bill comments dont fly either...
I guess health care for poor children, funding for schools in rural areas, money to fight forest fires, 2.9 BILLION dollars more than Bush asked for for Katrina relief (a total of 5.3 billion), money for bird flu vaccine purchases, energy assistance for poor people, and 3.7 BILLION in farm subsidies, which i might point goes out to alot of red states, are all bad things.
And please dont make the mistake of thinking all the other $103 billion is going to the troops. A good portion is going to the Iraqis and defense contractors.
When the bills final version gets through, it will include plenty of nice juicy porky incentives for the Republicans to be on board with it, and you know it.
So why not pass the Bill? explain why you care so much now when 'porking' has been rampant for the last 6 years?
