If you don't want Bush spending money on the war, tell your congressmen to stop the funding?

Question

Is that a good bumper sticker?

Answer 1

What dream are you having? when was the last time you heard of any congresscritter paying attention to any one other than his or her party boss?
These parasites in Washington care less about what the general public wants they do what they please regardless of your wishes, and that is exactly why we have lost control of our government.

To dogsrspc:
Just what has your long winded reply have to do with the question on hand?
The attack on 9/11 has nothing to do with the war in Iraq, as no Iraq'i was involved in that attack, and that war was not to get rid of any terrorist group.

Answer 2

I did, I told her that Article 1, section 8 of the US Constitution states that they can only fund armies to make war for two years! Maybe george should be told since he took an oath of office to support and protect the Constitution of the US!

Answer 3

WARS AREN'T CHEAP, SPEND WHAT IT TAKES

New York Counts Cost of 9/11
The terrorist attack of September 11 could cost New York up to $95bn (£60bn), according to the city's own independent financial watchdog.
The terrorist attack of September 11 could cost New York up to $95bn (£60bn), according to the city's own independent financial watchdog, making it more expensive than America's largest ever natural disaster.
City comptroller William Thompson estimates that America's financial capital has lost 83,000 jobs over the past year. In a report out yesterday he added that prospects for an estimated 63,000 new jobs were erased when last September's fledgling recovery on Wall Street was undermined by the attacks on the World Trade Centre.
The city's jobless rate - at 7.7% in July - is already higher than the national rate of 5.9%.
Mr Thompson reckons it will cost the city almost $22bn to replace the buildings, infrastructure and other amenities destroyed when two hijacked commercial airliners were flown into the twin towers.
The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and forced the New York stock exchange to close for six days. Many high-profile financial institutions had to relocate from Manhattan to New Jersey.
The collapse of the towers and the damage to property in the Wall Street area removed almost 13m sq ft [1.2m sq metres] of office space from downtown Manhattan.
As well as the cost of the clean-up and rebuilding work, New York has lost nearly $3bn in taxes as companies moved out of Manhattan into temporary accommodation in New Jersey.
The city is likely to have to pick up the tab for $500m in unreimbursed expenses, according to Mr Thompson's calculations.
The financial effects of the September 11 attacks far outweigh the most expensive natural disaster in US history. In 1992 Hurricane Andrew raged across the southern tip of Florida, killing 28 people and causing more than $25bn worth of damage.
New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has already warned that taxes may have to be increased if the city is unable to secure more federal aid as it struggles with a forecast budget deficit next year of $5bn.
Mr Thompson, however, has already made it plain that he will not allow the city to relax its fiscal rules, for fear that New York will find itself repeating the financial crisis that forced the city close to bankruptcy in the 1970s.
Although the terrorist attacks have altered the priorities of New York's politicians Mr Thompson has also made it plain that the city must not forget the need for housing for low and middle-income people in parts of the city.

Answer 4

Then the Repubs will all say that the money was for chow and bullets, the media will just parrot it like they always do, and the idiot electorate will eat it up.

No thanks.

Answer 5

The Dems know it would be political suicide to stop the funding.

Answer 6

If your congressman is a Rep, good luck with that....

Answer 7

Answer 8

Maybe we should spend more.
