Support the troops ..... not so much after they get wounded.

Mother tries to scrimp by on $48.00/day and help from family
as she cares for son who is now an amputee.

You think Rush could cough up some money or Bill can spare some
of his luffa money too. How about *'s uncle who has made millions
with his St. Louis based arms company? Dick cheney you got some
cash?

1. Well of course not then. Can't afford it. Got big corporations to support

2. It's really tragic how little we hear about the wounded.

Let's hope that changes soon.

3. Meanwhile in the Transportation Bill that just passed

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050802/pl_nm/alaska_dc

"The transportation bill, passed in the U.S. Senate last week, authorized over $220 million for a 200 foot-high (61-meter-high) road bridge to connect Ketchikan, a city of fewer than 8,000, to a ferry-served island that holds the local airport and is home to about 50 people.

Another $229 million, out of a total package of $1 billion for Alaska, was earmarked for a 2-mile bridge from Anchorage to a sparsely inhabited section of marshes and muskeg across the glacier-fed Knik Arm channel."

Imagine that. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build bridges to nowhere. Meanwhile, mothers who have to take care of children who have been severely injured in Bush's War get nothing. The money is there, it's just being held hostage by evil people who believe in rewarding corporate backers more than in taking care of the war wounded.
