87 Billion??? Aaarrgghh!!!
87 Billion Dollars??? Is this idiot crazy??? That is as much as we
spend for education in this country, and because this moron and his
administration made a really, really, stupid decision, the rest of
us have to 'sacrifice' for it...

Well, are the billionaires sacrificing??? I think not...they are
reaping the rewards of this war...where the HELL is $87 billion
dollars going? Could it be to Halliburton, Bechtel, and the rest of
the corporations? Where did the 60 Billion plus that Bush got back
in April go? Could it be to Halliburton, Bechetel, & the rest of
the corporations?

So, the administration will not be helping our infrastructure, or
education in this country, because they made a unilateral power grab
that is turning into a mess because they expected to be welcomed
with 'flowers' (lying bastards).

Our kid's futures are what the sacrificing really means...the
administration wants us to give them all the money, all the money
that we don't have, social security, and for this we get...what? A
future without social security, with kids that are idiots because
the public school system is going to shit, and families that need
both parents to work (as opposed to making the decision on what they
want to do).

The goal of this administration, is to make sure that both parents
have to work all the time just to survive (and appreciate being
slaves), and so that they have no time to think about what the fuck
is really going on. Because when people have time to think about
what's going on, they will be PISSED OFF...

We no longer live in a democracy...thanks to these Repukes (and some
Dems unfortunately), we now live in a Plutocracy, where the rich run
the show, and the rest of us are supposed to be content with our
'small piece of the gold' that the rich grudgingly hand out.

When will the American people wake up and realize that these people
are crooks? I understand that some people truly can not believe
that our government could lie to us like this...to them I say
WATERGATE!!! And this whole Iraqi debacle is light years beyond
Watergate as a lie...lying to get us in, lying about the cost, lying
about the 'sacrifices' that everyone else in America has to do
except for themselves.

George Bush has never sacrificed anything more than a fly ball in
his entire life...he went AWOL during his tenure of duty in the Air
National Guard, his poppy bought him oil companies (which he almost
bankrupted except for investments from the BIN LADEN family), etc.
He's a loser, a liar, and a crook. He sends our kids to war, while
his kids and his friends kids are safe. 'Sacrificing' to this
administration means that us 'serfs' sacrifice, while they get
richer and richer.

Does anyone really think the administration cares about what our
brave men and women of the armed forces are really sacrificing?
Bush has yet to either call or visit the families of the soldiers
that have died. This is an abomination. And it should be reported,
but it won't be.

Our media is owned by Bush's 'friends' and cronies, so the American
people can not be informed they way they need to be (of course, if
the people really had an idea what was going on, there would be
revolution in the streets...). Fewer conservative companies owning
the media means that it's in their better interest to hide what's
really happening...more Laci Peterson and Kobe Bryant to take the
attention off of the raping of America.

I have never been so sad to be an American in my entire life.

But, I have never been happier to have an outlet like DU where I can spout off when needed...it's my safety valve...

2. And don't forget...
Viceroy Bremmer--apparently with Dub's blessing--is going to use some of that $87 billion of OUR money to institute a new NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM for Iraq. Too bad what's good enough for Iraq just isn't good enough for US! :mad:

And as for Bechtel and Haliburton...they'll be awarded the money through NO-BID contracts, of course! :grr:

B-)

3. And Europeans are not going to subsidize this either.
European leaders have to win elections to get office. They are not about to raise their own taxes to susidize Bush's tax cuts to his wealthy cronies.

4. right on the money, Pat
I've never been so embarrased to be American as I am these days. These neocons have humiliated us before the entire international community.

6. Few blame Americans.
Most of the world remember more than we how Bush got into office. They separate him from us more than we think. We need only be embarrassed if he ever gets genuinely elected.

7. I know that...
...but still, the administration is the front line of our country, and we've allowed these crooks to do this in our name...They have used our good name to steal as much money and power as they can...

They are truly evil bastards...

8. Bush left Texas a millionaire. He will leave Washington a Billionaire
He isn't running this country, he is using it.
