De Deuce: if it's so preposterous - why do over 70% of Americans support it, along with a lot of republicans. Only ones NOT supporting it are the repubs who are afraid to go against their president. Dee Dee: It's poorly written so they shouldn't support it? Yet, billions and billions have been scammed by no-bid contractors from the war appropriations - not to mention the billions we "just lost." But I'm sure you support funding the military.

the politicians only tell you what they want you to think. I don't understand why they want to spend any money rebuilding Iraq when its only going to get blown up again

Simple, Let me ask you THIS question. Suppose, for the sake of an argument, that we as a nation have been spending 200 Billion a year on the war and, although we didn't LIKE it, we thought that as a nation, it was OK? HOW would you feel if Bush ASKED for $1,200,000,000,000 thats 1.2 Trillion dollars, about 6 times the 200 billion we HAD been payig for the war? I am CERTAIN that that amout of increase would get your attention and FAST. Well, THAT is exactly what happened in the SCHIP program. The program has been going along quite swimmingly at some 6.4 Billion dollars a year. the Senate (aka Harry Reid) decided to pick a fight with GW and MAKE him veto a Childrens Health Care program so that people like YOU would get their panties all in a WAD and come on a venue like this and try to throw GW under the bus. The Senate KNEW that asking 6 TIMES the previous years allotment of money would trigger his veto-and it did. But all it did was waste time. With nothing in the hopper to assist the SCHIP program the kids get nothing and the SENATE KNEW THAT. GW is willing to sit down and negotiate a new SCHIP program with the Senate, even to including more money in it, but NOT 36 Billion. This is the way Washington politics works. You send some preopostorus bill to the President and when he is forced to veto it for gross stupidity, the Dems like to go out and blame that mean ole' Bush guy. It is silly. They knew he would veto it and they did not care enough to make a bill that the President WOULD sign so that the funds could be made available to the states and to the children. Nothing new here. They did the same thing on the funding for Iraq. It's called grandstanding and for YOU it seems to have worked just as planned.

The welfare of Iraq comes before the welfare of the American citizens.

I must agree with the first answer; he is an idiot!! Seriously though, Bush continues to send our service men and women to war. We have lost so many of our military service persons, when is it ever going to stop? Yet he continues to want to sink money into this war, that is what I consider completely irresponsible! Now not to mention, he is wanting to take away children's health insurance that is provided in some states. Personally I can't wait to see him out of office!!
11 :
SCHIP is poorly-written legislation. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, for example, under the current program, 87% and 66% (respectively) of those enrolled in SCHIP are adults. So the whole "it's for the kids" is disingenuous at best and fradulent at worse. *Expanding* the current program then, is irresponsible especially when it kicks off some of those currently covered.
12 :
Because his priorities are f***ed.
13 :
he has his priorities screwed up.
