Here is the only solution to federal disaster funding, eliminating
...the federal deficit, paying down national debt, paying for the wars and keeping the U.S. economy sound. Congress must enact an emergency income tax increase as soon as they convene on Tuesday of 90% on ALL income personal, corporate, capital gains, windfall profits above $250,000 annual earned income for individuals, above $250,000 quarterly corporate profits, above $250,000 quarterly capital gains and above $250,000 quarterly windfall profits! This must go into effect immediately retro-active to beginning of 2005.

1. start by getting the hell out of iraq and cutting the military budget
by half.
that would free up 350 Billion next year.

maybe the pentagon can find part of the trillion dollars they cant account for to make up the difference.

2. Indeed.
We can't keep kidding ourselves. Bush is spending way more than he's bringing in...he's added trillions to the deficit. Our war on the world is an abject failure. We're damn close to implosion that'll relegate us to 2nd world status. We need honest politicians that understand this and are willing to make the right budget decisions.
