President Bush complains about the "social spending'' contained in Democratic appropriations bills "as though these funds were being used for cocktail parties,'' a spokeswoman for the House Appropriations Committee said today.

aka Bush:
Yeah, who cares about the people who actually live in America just give the Coward in Chief his damn $235 billion for his wars before he start's holding his breath.

What an arsehat

GWB = Tommy Fenagle the pathological liar.

"BUSH SPEAKS" NO 9 BILLION DOLLARS OVER HERE, NO 9 BILLION DOLLARS OVER THERE" COME ON YA'LL THAT IS AS OLD AS "THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION HERE, THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THERE, HEE HEE HEE, WELL I GUESS THEY ARE EVERYWHERE"

2.4 TRILLION, $95.00 A BARREL OF CRUDE OIL, 196 BILLION AND IT'S NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS IN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. 'EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY SPENDING BILLS JAMED DOWN THE AMERICAN PEOPLES THROAT AS THOUGH THEY ARE GOING TO SAVE A LIFE.

BUSH AND HIS LOW OVERTONES, YOU KNOW HE IS LYING AND OR FABRICATING EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH. YOU KNOW DICK CHENEY IS YOUR CRIMINAL AND YOU VOTED FOR HIM.

NOW LOCK THEM UP, AND YOU WILL SEE A BETTER FISCAL SPENDING OF AMERICAN TAX PAYERS MONEY. IMMEDIATEY.

LONG LIVE NANCY PELOSI!

Mr President, use that Veto pen

As the founder and spokesman for the SUTG (Sickly, Uneducated Taxpayer Group) I applaud Bush's potential veto of any programs that will help Americans to be better educated and healthier. We enjoy being sickly and uneducated and we sure know how to breed good soldiers. I hope Pelosi gets the flu.

So he is "concerned" about an extra $11 billion for the health and welfare of Americans, but he has no problem with throwing $190 billion at Iraq and Afghanistan.

Why does George Bush hate America??

The House Democrats want a 5 percent increase over last year.This is irresponsible the federal government should go to zero based budgeting where last year plays no role. You start from scratch and justify all expenses while trying to cut 5 percent across the board after you come up with the budget. The Sangamon Republican Board uses this approach and it keeps spending down and County governemt in Sangamon is much better than Cook Counties approach no tax increases in Sangamon County.

"This is irresponsible the federal government should go to zero based budgeting where last year plays no role. You start from scratch and justify all expenses while trying to cut 5 percent across the board after you come up with the budget."

I usually don't bother responding to Jerry's rants, but I thought his self contradiction was just too funny.

Jerry, If last year plays no role at all, and you're starting from scratch, how do you attempt to cut 5%

Good for President Bush! The government is not suppose to be a social worker, employment councilor, health provider, and a cure-all. Take some adult responsibility on those shoulders that God provided.

AJF it's called fiscal responsibility. You ask County officials to draft a budget starting with zero. Most mangers don't need all they prioritize and think they need so in the second round the board chair asks them to trim 5 percent. It works it's like a household budget it provides for savings.
There is no need to add 5 percent that is what Cook County Democrats do and look at the mess they're in--not to mention the dear city of Chicago then, these same people come down to Springpatch and try their tricks on the state. Franky, we'd like to secede. Jerry White, Springfield, IL

For the first time in the history of America. The life expectancy of today's children is less than that of their parents. This is catastrophic. And our infant mortality is equal to that of a third world country. Current U.S. adult life expectancy is down from #1 to #42. And dropping fast. These facts are what is known as EXTINCTION! indicators. These are the early signs of the final phase of the EXTINCTION of the American people.

You have to take the profit motive out of health care delivery. The profit motive does not work with health care. Or any other essential public service like police, and fire. The sooner everyone faces this truth. The sooner you will be able to adopt a real solution to the problem. The days of paying for health care out of pocket are at an end. Just like the mob days of paying for protection out of pocket came to an end.

HR 676 is the way to go. Single payer Universal National Health Care For All. Medicare for all. Accept no substitutes. The sooner you face this. The sooner you begin to heal the Cancer of private for profit medicine that is destroying this entire society. Other developed countries realized this years ago. It's a no-brainer now. See sickocure.org

Money, greed, and the profit motive has just decimated health care in America. And killed, and injured millions needlessly. Just for profit. But that is what large amounts of money, greed, and a lust for power always does. No one is immune from this corrupting power. The smart ones know this. And avoid letting them-self be put in compromising positions. But that is easier said. Than done. And very few succeed.

Most in the US go into medicine primarily to become wealthy. That is who the medical schools mostly choose. Most of the medical schools faculty are in bed with the drug companies, and others. And like the story of Dr. Faustus. They end up selling their soles. One compromise at a time. Until Lucifer owns them.

In medicine. Compromised care means. Injury, disability, and death. It's sad really. But HR 676 can fix this disgrace. Like it has in other developed countries. The only question is. How many more millions will be hurt, injured, and killed. And how many more of your children will die before their time. Before we fix this disgrace of private for profit health care in America.

I realize there will be a few people that have what they believe is good health care coverage. Who will want to opt out of a single payer system like HR 676. But let me remind you we rank # 37 in quality of health care for all. Down from #1. Never the less. A few opting out is not a problem. As long as all other Americans are automatically covered at birth through life. Unless they choose to opt out of HR 676. The government takes out 1.4% from your paycheck now for Medicare. All they have to do is substitute for HR 676 what they now take out of your paychecks for private health insurance. Remember, we already spend more on health care than any other country in the world. Right Now. We are being ripped off. And raped.

The SCHIP program is a desperately needed program for Americas children. But with the impending EXTINCTION of Americas children. And their current catastrophic health care condition. SCHIP needs to be extended to cover all of Americas children, immediately. Parents should have no hesitations, or financial worries about seeking medical care for their children. Whenever they have any concerns about their children's health. Especially in the richest country in the world. I would submit that any President, or politician that fails to do this for the children. Betrays their most solemn oath to protect the American people. Especially when you consider that all other developed countries have done this. And that we are the richest country in the world.

So get on it America. Get it done. You have been doing great over the past several months. Keep it up. And step it up. You have to force it, and take it. It's the right fight, and the right thing to do. Now is the time... Take no prisoners.
