King George vetoes health and education bill.


Thinkprogress:
On Air Force One today, President Bush vetoed a $606 billion education and health measure while signing “a big increase in the Pentagon’s non-war budget.” The health and education bill is “a bipartisan bill supported by over 50 Republicans,” House Appropriations Committee David Obey (D-WI) said in response. “There has been virtually no criticism of its contents. It is clear the only reason the president vetoed this bill is pure politics.”

Americans will soon have nothing as the Law Makers give every cent of US tax dollars away. Yes Iraq spending will reach the Trillions but taxpayers get nothing. Just keep working and paying your taxes. For those who are losing their homes to bad and for others who are losing their jobs to bad. The White House thinks it's more important that the Bush Administration spend the money on friends, business and to keep the invasion going. I wonder if Blackwater is behind some of the recent assassination and bombings you never know.
