Veto on Child health, but asking for 46 Billion for war ?

Question

Now that makes a lot of sense. Bush talked about how he vetoed the bill on children's health because he wants to force the senate and congress to be conservative with money and slow down the spending ... but turns around and asks for 46 billion more for war. Now that is control on spending isn't it.
When will someone stand up to this president and tell him enough is enough? Is that all our tax money is good for? Wars? I wish Bush would ask for 46 billions to make sure our social security don't fall over, that our heath insurance is affordable, that our roads are clean, our bridges strong and our schools safe and high in standard. I hate the fact that my tax money helps shed human blood ... all for nothing and with no good reason at all. What a travesty of politics.

Well I see many make sense and other simply get agressive against me and my question. Could it be that I touched a sensitive point they know they are in the wrong with?
No I do not think we need to leave Iraq all together i think Iraqis need to get their Asses to work enough pampering them.
No I do not think health issues is a federal responsibility and yes i know that protecting this nation IS indeed a federal responsibility ... what has the Iraq war protected us against? Haven't you heard? Iraq was NEVER a threat nor part of 911 nor did it have WMD. WAKE UP!
Finally having sandal wearing people on our land ready to blow up our infrastructures IS an issue this administration should focus on along with the immigration services. We open our borders wide, we lose track or terrorist wannabee and then we cry panic and outrage when the act? We are being convinced that we can contain terrorist across the world but can't do a think at home about it? We all lose. all for nothing!

Answer 1

the typical person who was deceived by the government media will say: "but wars help protect America's interest"

What a bunch of load! Is there even any proof to back up this claim?

The debt held by the public is over 9 trillion...a new record! Way to go folks. Keep devaluing your dollar you'll be on the streets in no time ;)

"If the American People ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around (the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . ."

Answer 2

First of all, congress is proposing revenue articles like drunken sailors! Not a single plan of theirs isn't devoid of excessive pork-expense. This is the main reason why all of their proposals are being slammed. I'm not a major Bush fan, but the recent tax and spend healthcare plan was absurd. Do you realize that it included monies for those already with private insurance (better than half)? By your way of thinking government controlled anything is acceptable. Sorry, I'm personally not interested in nanny-state politics. I just wish someone would come up with a healthcare plan that doesn't have nonsense addendums for special interests. And yes, war is an ugly business, but I'd rather have professionals waging the war in the middle east than fearing what might happen fighting within our own borders. I suppose you would prefer to leave our troops without munitions on the field of battle? We are already sizing down our presence as the Iraqis become better trained.

Answer 3

Social security is the last of his worries, he will never have to draw from it because since he was elected president he will b paid for the rest of his life. As for the war, well not that I agree with us going to war, but our troops do need to b protected with gear they need, but 46 billion I really think that is an inflated figure. Bottom line this president is not concerned with the little people, might I add that it is the Veterans that have been the backbone of this country.....I wonder where the pres was for his term of service??? On the golf course or too busy being AWOL???? Childrens health care doesn't seem to b important to president bush at all because he wont get any cut backs from the drug companies, HMO's......But he can go ahead and screw the children of this country and the American service men. If you love your freedom, Thank an American veteran....NOT GW!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Nice rant. Do you feel better now? You sound like a Miss America contestant with about as much substance behind your desire for 'world peace'.

So head out to the Middle East Moon Unit and preach your desire for world peace to them because THAT is where the problem is, not here at home. We'd absolutely love to spend all that money on 'clean roads' just as long as we were confident that there weren't a bunch of sandal wearing Neanderthals bent on killing several thousand innocent Americans at their first opportunity.

Finally, ask yourself this question again. Why aren't they standing up to him? If it is so obvious, why don't they? You'd think it'd be simple to stand up to President Bush and force him to do what you think should be done. But it's not. And it's not because what he is doing has to be done. What he is doing is a top priority. They may say otherwise for political reasons but they're not so stupid as to think otherwise.

By the way, the schools are fine, thanks. They're handing out laptops to every kid in my district. The roads are fine and those that need health care get it. So settle down and let the big people handle it, 'kay?

Answer 5

Bush has never made any sense to anyone that has an IQ over 90.

He thinks that spending an additional $35 billion on children's health care over a 5 year period is too much money, yet he thinks that flushing down the drain an additional $46 billion a year on top of the $150 billion a year that he is wasting is too much money. His bass ackward priorities are near treasonous.

Answer 6

Well, it seems that the Democratic controlled congress is willing to give him the money for the war but is going along with not paying for the health care. I guess I can assume that Democrats are war mongers and hate children.

This may be news to you but congress controls the money, they can say yeah or nay.

Answer 7

National Defense is a Constitutional responsibility of the Federal government. paying for peoples health care is not mentioned in the Constitution so falls to the States. Why is this so hard for so many to understand? It's really a simple concept.,

Answer 8

Without the money for war , there will be no children, therefore no need for health care.

Answer 9

Well the left was trying to make me give up my insurance for Government substandard insurance, thank God the Veto held. I worked hard to get my coverage and I would have lost it due to not being able to afford both plans.

Get an education and job good enough for you to get your own insurance. The Goverment is not your mom and dad and I do not want to pay for others mistakes.

Later.

This is the essence of the Bush Administration. Vote Democratic. Not Hillary though.
