Why does Bush keep asking for $70,000,000 more for the war every 3 months?

Question

Bush keeps touting that the extra money for the TROOPS...yet, our soldiers have already been paid as well as their equipment...sure some of the equipment needs upkeep, but not $70,000,000 every 2 or 3 months!

So, where is all this money going to? If it is the Contractors then, we as Americans should KNOW about this, after all it IS our money.

Thanks for the correction... How can anyone in the US think that it is acceptable while Bush refuses to fund schools?

American...I happen to BE a LOYAL American so, yes, I am concerned with misleads that this administration has given us and I want the truth...not just regurgitated crap that you get from the news. Anyone who is concerned with the USA and the out of control budget should be asking these very questions.

Answer 1

Argh it is 70,000,000,000! That's such a huge number. F this man I'm pissed I'll have to pay for that.

Answer 2

You can't blame a guy for asking...

I just don't know why we're giving it to him.


Wish that worked for me... LOL


Seems like we're going down no matter what...

Even Ron Paul talking about getting rid of the IRS sounds like a plan to further invade our privacy, track our every transaction and tax us that way. What about the savings I already paid income taxes on? Will I be taxed again when spending it?... or will the chip in my hand insure I'm properly taxed on transactions? Either way... not good at all. The government has been wanting their piece of web transactions for awhile now... No welfare at all? It's all exactly what the establishment wants and they've actually managed to get political dissidents begging for it. Will we go back to the gold standard? The folks who robbed us blind have all the gold. They'd still be in charge.

I respect you for loving freedom and the USA and not giving up the fight... You're tireless!!! But the fact is, it's just too late and most people still don't even see. They're happy to think Iraq has something to do with terrorism or "Al-Qaeda". They're happy to "compete" with 3rd world SLAVES for a job... The dollar is done. We're done.

The evil ones who've slowly brainwashed the public and taken control of the USA will decide what they want to do with us next and they'll do it. They own us. Even the leaders of the "revolution" are urging "peaceful resistance" while admitting we're being robbed blind, imprisoned in the world's largest prison population and oppressed by the people who swore a very sacred oath to represent and serve us... while pushing some very, very questionable ideas themselves. Why do they urge you to "fight amnesty" when illegals can have all the kids they want here and they're automatic citizens? What a joke!!! That IS amnesty. That IS treason. That is the USA government intentionally allowing and encouraging a foreign invasion. Where the heck is the call to stop this, remove and punish those responsible for this BLATANT crime and treason happening right now??? What kind of "revolution" is this??? It's the look over here while we screw you over there and you do absolutely nothing about it kind if you ask me... What good is an "info war" when "our" government no longer even pretends to care about the laws, The Constitution or public opinion? You can complain all you want. The "powers that be" aren't going to give anything back unless you pry it out of their cold, dead hands. They never did and they never will. That's how they got where they are. They're openly preparing a police state to fight us as the economy fails, the nation falls and the truth is exposed. The "revolutionaries" tell us to complain about it. Yeah... that'll help. There is no end to the corruption, treason and evil these days. The "global elite" are in complete control. The working class has been sucked dry and made extremely weak and vulnerable. People's ethics severely twisted, both in what they will accept and in what they'll do to others... People turned against each other... I just can't see things getting any better before they get a lot worse no matter what.

Keeping in mind the heavy taxes Lewis the Bloodthirsty (the 14th)of France, Ismail the Bloodthirsty of Morocco and others extracted from the subjects of their countries, have some pitty on Bullshit and the "modest" amount of money he demands.

Answer 4

you have already been corrected on the 70 billion, not 70 million. one other correction...if you review the track record, you will find that since 2004 the calls for patience and cash have come at intervals of six months. in addition, war funding is currently costing over one billion dollars a week.

Hey, gotta take care of Halliburton, Blackwater, and the rest of the military/industrial complex.

Answer 6

because liberals like the pelosireid regime use the soldiersand the conflict to get in the way and pork barrel spend to buy votes as evidence by the 29 BILLION lately proposed by reid. if somehow we could successfully MUZZLE nancy, WORKING AMERICANS who understand al qaeda could finish the job.

Answer 7

What do you mean our soldiers have already been Paid?They get 2 paychecks EVERY month.They eat 3 meals a day. They use Ammunition every day. Their vehicles use fuel.This stuff is not free.I suppose you would rather give to some welfare freeloader who hasn't worked for 3 years or done anything for his country.

Answer 8

It's for the Haliburton boys and Colleagues... Quarterly Celebration Party....Yeeehaaaa

Oh! you mean... 70billion..and Hookers too then.....Yeeeeehaaaaaa

Answer 9

So you're now an expert on military accounting? You think you know what our troops need more than the President?

I'd rather spend the money killing terrorists than the BILLIONS we spend on Welfare for the Lazy and government education and all other socialist programs.
