What are some reasons to be annoyed by Bush vetoing the SCHIP?

Question

In some instances I think it makes sense, being that it was for the poor, but sometimes I am just not sure. Your opinion?

Answer 1

One of the biggest reasons to be annoyed about it is that he can't bring his greedy self to allow congress to spend an additional $35 billion over 7 years, but he wants to flush that same amount down the drain for 3 months worth of occupying Iraq.

The SCHIP program provides many viewable positive results in 7 years while 3 months in Iraq produces very few if any positive results.

Answer 2

The reason President Bush vetoed this bill was because the original bill covered the children that did NOT HAVE insurance.
the democrats expanded it to cover children that ALREADY HAVE insurance. They did this on purpose so President Bush would look like a bad guy for vetoing it because most people do not keep up with the facts. They have been tricked into thinking that some "poor little kids will die" because he didn't pass the bill.
It was a political move of the lowest kind. Using kids to get votes , etc.

There will be a good bill come out again that will not be vetoed.

When you overextend a bill like that it is called PORK.

That is something the liberals love..

Answer 3

i could be more desirable off quitting my interest, happening welfare, section 8, HEAP, Wick, and getting loose well being care because as of as we talk the authorities takes 1/2 of my income. I paintings 60+ hours, run a agency in Upstate enormous apple (regulation nightmare), and my tax bill is more desirable than my loan, automobile fee, well being Ins., and all my utilities blended. particular feels like we've already got a socialistic society. My information superhighway income has somewhat replaced even with a boom in gross income. The idiots on the following who discuss tax will advance do not understand what's coming. Wait until eventually you bypass out and attempt to make a existence for your self by using possessing a agency. We pay a large number of the taxes.

Answer 4

I think that Bush is a fool for not approving this bill. It was a way for the hard-working citizens in this country to be able to have health insurance for their children. His approval rating is already in the dumps, and this could have only helped him and make him look like a human with feelings. I guarantee you that if it was a bill to send more soldiers to Iraq, he would have signed it with no questions asked.

Answer 5

I keep hearing the works bi-partisan come out of his mouth for the things he wants. He thinks that being bi-partisan would make the world a better place.

This bill was worked out in a bi-partisan manner. It had lots of support on both sides of the aisle. But he vetoes it, because he knows better.

Answer 6

Not surprised. We spend millions of dollars every year to help poorer contries, and thats good and all. But how about helping poor children in our country, these kids are the future and George Bush has already made it clear he cares nothing about the future in his evironmental stance.

Answer 7

Because his veto was based solely upon maintaining the increasing spread between the wealthy (and healthy) and poor (and unhealthy) in this country - the more poverty exists, the more that (foregone) money stays with the wealthy. He was (s)elected by the wealthy and is sustained by them.

Answer 8

I think that what he did was wrong because theres a lot of little kids that need help because their parents cant afford to pay for their health care. If he doesnt approve that law, then a lot of little kids might die!!!

Answer 9

I'm annoyed cause I just think he's greedy. He
makes sure he and his croinies are covered health wise for the rest of their live but doesnt
care about the rest of us

Answer 10

Financially, this is a drop in the bucket compared to military.
Perhaps a more comprehensive approach is required.
