Now Hillary is on C-Span talking about the Biden Amendment. She is,

[acmavm]

as always, clear-headed, articulate, and intelligent. "We are funding our war with our children's inheritance. That is wrong. I don't care what you say, that it wrong."

1. Dumb question

What is the Biden amendment? Is is kind of like Byrd's amendment?

2. Contact your Senators now! Vote on Biden-Kerry amendment today at 3:15PM!

Kerry-Biden amendment will return top tax rate to 38.2%, effective 2005-2010, to pay for cleaning up Bush mess in Iraq.

Right now top tax rate has been reduced to 35% by Bush's latest tax cut, effective this year.

Contact your Senators and urge them vote for Kerry-Biden amendment!

Rescinds the tax cut on upper incomes to pay for the war and rebuilding.

7. Actually, it is titled the Biden amendment. Biden & Kerry introduced it..

Kerry is one of the 5 co-sponsors, one of whom is Diane Feinstein.

The other 3 co-sponsors are Chafee, Corzine and Lautenberg.

3. Why did she vote against the Byrd amendment yesterday which would have

held back 15 Billion from the 87 Billion for Iraq Reconstruction? Why......?

8. Who knows

Write her office a letter. Could be they want more than 15 cut out. Could be something in the fine print. Could be a lot of things.

4. Our kids are going to pay for our profligacy

We now know we can get things more cheaply than from the no-bid contracts given to the president's friends.

9. No doubt about it

Check out this blog from an Iraqi who says her cousin (a professional engineer) estimated a bridge rebuild at $300,000. The CPA said thank you very much and hired an American company to do it for $50 MILLION!!! Outrageous
