George W. Bush?

Question

He couldn't find those alleged WMDs, he still can't find bin Laden, yet he found a reason to veto a bill providing healthcare for American children.

Why?

Answer 1

He hates poor children except when he needs them to fight one of his wars.

Answer 2

The weapons of mass destruction have been moved to Syria, Iran or Pakistan; Clinton had the opportunity and let Bin Laden go and we are working on getting him; do you think Hillary could do a better job?; Bush did the right thing regarding the healthcare bill which was offered. How much money do you think we can afford to spend on healthcare? Do you want to pay for all children, even the ones in households making $80,000 a year? It was a crazy and unaffordable plan. The Dems will promise all kinds of expensive benefits to the people in order to get a vote; they will twist the truth on issues and, as you can see every single day, that they will be lying and twisting right up to the election. Everything gets blamed on Bush. It is wrong, wrong, wrong. You see a few honest Dems who will not deny these things but most will just ignore the truth and carry on. The press will report anything that they can and not try to correct the lies that are being told about Bush, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc. Read the true facts and do your own investigating. There is no denying the facts when you read them as they were given and in context. When things are taken out of context, you can change the meaning and that is what the press and Harry Reid, among others, is doing.

Answer 3

despite how huge of a number $82,000 seems to be it's not for an entire family. Break that down realistically and explain how health insurance for an entire family would even be a feasible option. This bill is America slowly tiptoeing towards current Canadian and UK health policies which provides free health care (with guidelines) to it's citizens (not just its children).

My question is why shouldn't our tax dollars go toward health care ESPECIALLY for our children? What better suggestions does anyone else have for this money to go to?

Answer 4

I asked a similar question and this is what I chose as the best answer.

"With a little research, it's easy. Republicans, especially President Bush have already agreed to raise funds to insure poor children (children in families making less than $42,000) by more than 60% in 2008. Democrats siezed a political opportunity and rewrote the clause to include families earning up to $82,000, multiplying 6 fold the cost. Knowing republicans will not pass another huge spending bill, they have another sound bite for elections next year." -Pancakes

Answer 5

Totally agree!! Spends trillions on Iraq but wont spend any f-ing money to help the poor (im one i would know)

I agree with rainy below me
Health care is expensive!! (my mom cant get necessary operations because of the price) 200,000 for a transplant?? OH YES easy money!!!!

Answer 6

What's with asking this question over and over and over.

Read the facts about the health care bill. It was trash. Tell me who smokes? The poor, right. So now you want to tax the poor to help them..lol, and also you want the poor to help the people making up to 83 thousand a year.
Great plan...only a far left dem could love it.

Answer 7

Because it would actually accomplish something for the people of the US. Not the majority but some. He has shown time after time if it ain't got huge profits he won't bother.

Answer 8

Because he can't find families making $80,000 a year that need it.

Answer 9

People that had incomes of $63,000 a year or less are not poor in my eyes.

Answer 10

Because these children can be up to 25 and their family can make $86,000!
