desertviking_00 - so you wouldn't be in favor of those earning 80,000 or more to get a tax break?
You argument makes just as much sense.

And do you have any idea what the SCHIP bill was all about? I doubt it. I'll give you facts. Don't worry, I'll keep it brief. I know you won't accept facts anyway.
1) The SCHIP program is currently on the books. This was not a new bill. It was an expansion of a current program.
2) Bush wanted to include another 4 million children on the program.
3) Democrats wanted to include another 8 million children on the program.
4) Democrats wanted to redefine "children" to include everyone up to the age of 25.
5) Democrats wanted to expand the program to cover "children" who live in households that make 200% of the poverty level.
6) Since kids don't pay taxes, SCHIP children are not paying for Iraq.

The Schip kids will not be paying for anything. That Bill, included adults , not just children. Plus, Libs put in people making even eighty thousand a year, that is not poor people. They did these things on purpose, to make Bush look bad, they knew he would veto that bill. You have not figured out yet that this do nothing Congress are just playing games, with our lives, to get elected.

If he had signed the bill, children of parents earning as much as $80,000 a year would have received free medical care without those parents paying one dime of insurance premiums. The original intent of the SCHIP program was to give health care to the children of the working poor. No way is an 80K income considered to be working poor!

Why did the SCHIP bill cover illegals? Why stop with them? Why not expand it to offer coverage to anyone in the entire world who needs it?
Do you even know - or care - WHY it was vetoed, or are you just spewing talking points?
"t's not like HIS grandkids will be paying for it!" Um....okay, Skippy....are his grandkids tax-exempt for some reason?
Amazing.

This was the earmark free bill right? The one with earmarks for specific hospitals in it?
I just think it was a poorly written bill. They do happen. Write it up again, kids, and resubmit.

How do you figure that? That makes no sense at all.
