$190 Billion For WAR; NO Help For Children's Health

Published on September 28, 2007 By COL Gene In Politics

The Bill to give 3.5 Million children health insurance that today do not have coverage passed Congress in a bipartisan way. Bush has said he will veto this bill while he prepares to request another $190 Billion for WAR!

Bush is a lost cause and the voters must turn their attention to Congress. ANY member of Congress that is up for reelection in 2008 that does not vote to override a Bush veto of this bill should be removed from office in November 2008 for turning their backs on these 3.5 Million children! They should also highlight some of the children that the Bush veto will prevent from receiving the health care they need!

In 2004 when Bush was running for reelection he supported the very expansion to the SCHIP program that he threatens to VETO today. He VOTED FOR IT BEFORE HE VOTED AGINST IT! What a SORRY man we have in the White House!

Bush said he objected to the SCHIP Bill because it would provide help to families that make up to $80,000 per year. At the same time the Bush Farm Policy provides subsidies to farmers that make up to $2.5 Million dollars per year. When the Democrats tried to lower the limit to $500,000 per year, Bush threatened to VETO that Bill. How is it he thinks $80,000 per year is TOO much to help children have health insurance but it is OK to pay tax dollars to farmers making as much as $2.5 Million per year which is more then 30 times more?

How much have you donated to kids' health charities? If nothing, then shut your lazy, good for nothing, waste of a mouth. If you aren't helping kids, then don't sit there on your fat butt and whine that the government isn't doing it for you.

the poor are now anyone who makes 80,000 a year or less.

the rich are now anyone who makes 91000 a year or more.

so that means if your not in the rich category then you are poor.

and since gene makes less than 80,000 a year that must be why he wants someone else to pay for him.

DROP DEAD YOU PATHETIC A*S!

We support 10 charities, our church and support a child via the Christian Children’s Fund! People like you are a waste!

I would not say a family making UP TO $80,000 is rich but I KNOW a Farmer making $2.5 Million is RICH! WHY does Bush support handing out tax dollars to farmers making millions per year and then object to a family making up to $80,000?

WHY does Bush support handing out tax dollars to farmers making millions per year

if you look at this closely you will find that this was started by a democrat. i don't know if bush can stop something like this. since he doesn't make the budget out the congress does.

Then why do you insist the government do what it is OUR job to do? It is UNCONSITUTIONAL for the government to do what you demand here.

It is Bush that is preventing that policy from changing. WHY? No matter who started it, the democrats want to stop handing out our tax dollars to people that do not need or deserve the help as the policy was designed to do.

There is no such Supreme Court ruling!

Because all the private help does not come close to meeting the need for help. Simple as that.

US Official Notes China's Military Gains

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan (AP) — While the U.S. has been tied up in Iraq, China is modernizing its military and its air defenses are now nearly impenetrable to all but the newest of American fighters, the senior U.S. military official in Japan said.

Lt. Gen. Bruce Wright, commander of the roughly 50,000 U.S. forces in Japan, Washington's biggest ally in Asia, said in an interview with The Associated Press this week that the Iraq war is reducing the availability of U.S. troops and equipment to meet other contingencies.
I bet that general gets a call from the White House!

Why you haven't been banned long ago is beyond me.

Maybe it's because nobody, but nobody, takes you seriously?

Sorry to burst your ignorant bubble you idiot, btu the Supreme Court is NOT the U.S. Constitution. There is plenty of help, and would be more if communistic fools like you didn't demand our government do OUR job for us.

What ever laws you claim are unconstitutional are nothing of the sort UNTIL a case is brought to the courts and the Supreme Court says the law is unconstitutional.

You have given as much as you've gotten Gene. Quit trying to play the victim here, it doesn't suit you. Sure, I've said things to you that should have gotten me banned, but you shot right back.

I'd voluntarily banish myself forever if it meant you would be banned too!
