I’m so glad we’ve got our national priorities straight.
The first of a series of juxtapositions I’d rather not think about…
President Bush and 151 Senate Republicans do not want to spend $35 billion over the next FIVE years to expand the already successful State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates just asked Congress for an additional $42 billion on top of the already requested $147 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for fiscal 2008. That’s $189 billion of our tax dollars for ONE year.
