We are currently paying Sept. 11 fees on airlines and now a terrorism tax?
Washington - An outspoken supporter of the Iraq war on Tuesday called for a new tax to pay for its astronomical cost as Congress opened a debate on President George W. Bush's $2.9 trillion budget plan for next year.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut proposed a "war on terrorism tax" at a Senate hearing during which he said the Pentagon's $622 billion defense budget proposal for fiscal 2008 threatened to crowd out funds for domestic programs.
The lawmaker, a former Democrat turned independent, favors a U.S. troop buildup in Iraq.
Bush traveled to Manassas, Virginia, to deliver the opposite message about the budget he submitted to the Democrat-controlled Congress on Monday.
"This budget can work if Congress resists the temptation to raise your taxes," the Republican president told employees of Micron Technology Inc., a semiconductor manufacturer.

and if we aren't paying enough to fly, there is a new huge jet that will cost airports etc tons of money to accomidate this monster of a jet, and who will pay? everyone! There is already problems at O'Hare on the North side of Chicago with delays, etc. etc. and they have been trying to expand it, and have been fighting with people over relocating their loved ones from a cemetary etc.
And now O'Hare wants this monster jet? They are talking about redoing some roads and bridges surrounding the airport because they won't be able to take the stress........enough already. Jesse Jackson Jr. Congressman has been trying for a third airport in Peotone (south almost Indiana) let him take it on, but then I feel for the people who were there before the airport, it's like when I hear people who live by Midway (south side airport) or O'Hare complain....well the airports were there first, why did they move by an airport.......
It sounds like you have problems in Chicago with your airports.
Look Lickerman is only following orders given by the Gerbil. After that kiss nothing has been the same for Joe since then. Most of us should be beaware of what a kiss can do as it shows the Gerbil's kisses are powerfull with alot of money too.
