Yeah...
Finally, a voice of sanity in an ocean of lunatics. I think Bush should be impeached and censured.

Small potaotes. What is the overall cost of Goverment!
Congress, the Executive Branch, the Judicial Branch, every Federal Buildign in the US, the FBI, the CIA, the FAA, the FCC.
How much does it cost to keep route 66 going from LA to NY?
Maybe we should stop that and you should stay at home and not travel!
Maybe we should turn the Grand Canyon into a housing project for poor people.

You, my friend, are misinformed.
Not a single red cent of your tax money goes to the war in Iraq.
That's right, none of it.
The Iraq war is being financed by borrowed money from the fed.
Your great-great grandchildren may be paying for this war, but we're still working on paying back the money Jimmy Carter borrowed.

It's clear that the money should've been put to better use than looking for nonexistant WMD's, but we can't undo the past. By the way, this belongs in the politics category.

My tax dollars also go to facilities that lie to teenage girls and inform them that they risk a higher incidence of cancer if they have an abortion (which is completely unproven, but we all know how well fear works!)..... God, I just love what Bush has done for my country! NOT!

Bush thinks that he communicates directly with God, and that he's God's hand on earth. How crazier can get more than this? I wish if he quits because he's a nutcase.
