Bush Wants another $46 Billion,WARHAM CLAIMS WE'RE PAYING FOR IT TODAY

[blueturk]

Let's put this in perspective....

Oct 22 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush asked Congress for $189.3 billion on Monday to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for another year.

For comparison, here are the amounts the government has spent on other programs, along with the estimated costs of plans put forward recently.

-- The U.S. government allocated $45.3 billion in supplemental funding to help victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Insurance companies are estimated to have paid another $45 billion in damages related to Katrina.

-- The United States is building a fence along its border with Mexico in an effort to halt illegal immigration. The government has not offered detailed cost projections, but estimates have ranged from $2.2 billion for construction alone to $49 billion for construction and maintenance for 25 years.



-- Bush recently vetoed a bill to expand a popular health care program for low-income children that would have cost $40 billion over 10 years, an average of $4 billion per year.

Nothing sheer or stupid about it.

There's three things that are guaranteed in life...

Death, taxes, and Winger albums always being in the $5.88 bins at Walmart.

We pay for the war with tax money, which is generated by us going to work everyday.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

NO WE DON'T

The MAJORITY of the Iraq War Funding has been OFF-BUDGET

[ Im actually shocked you're this out of touch, War]

So do you feel really patriotic when you look at your check stub? Or do you feel like an idiot for voting for Dubya? Or do you just feel like an idiot, period?

It's called tax revenue, Lounge. It might be off-budget, but that's still how the war is being paid for.

No, dumbass.

YOU said WE were paying for this war by GOING TO WORK EACH DAY

The TRUTH of the matter is, we are paying this war with DEBT.

IT'S ON A FUCKING CREDIT CARD.

You have NOT paid one single NICKLE for this war...

So you must be for a WAR TAX to pay for it as we go.

God, War, PLEASE tell me you know this.


Tell me you dont think Tax Revenue is paying for this war.

Yes, I'm sure you do always feel patriotic. Most sheep use patriotism as an excuse for supporting Dubya no matter what he does....including this "war".

Most Iranians are fervently patriotic....

Patriotism means nothing when you're supporting a regime like BushCO

Yeah, and how do you eventually pay off that balance on your credit card?
With money out of your pocket.

In this case, it's a government credit card, and since the government's main revenue is taxes, that's how it will be paid off!

No, I'm not for a war tax, I'm for Congress to balance the budget. If they want to pay for the war, then cut some other worthless program.

You've missed alot since you've been gone. I'd suggest going back and reading some before making any further statements.

Dude, I understand the 9 trillion in debt, and all that jazz.

I'm telling you the only way that's going to be paid off is by TAX revenue.
