Bush Lies To Troop's Families Again

  This creature is so pathetic that it is not funny.

   Remember Bush's State of the Union speech back in January when he urged Congress to allow the U.S. troops to move their unused education benefits to other members if their families? That was the good part, the bad part is that President Bush forgot to add any funding in his 2009 budget request for this initiative. The government people say that this proposal will cost somewhere around $1 billion to $2 billion annually. this is a $3.1 trillion budget request, in case you have forgotten.   Source

  Think about this ploy for a minute. Bush says that he wants Congress to pass this initiative for the military families, but, he doesn't leave any funding for it. this would then leave it up to the next president to figure out all of the details unless Bush throws the funding in with his next request for more Iraq war funds.

  His handlers say that Bush threw this idea in at the last minute after having spoke to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, and it would seem that even many of the Republicans were caught off guard by the Minion in Chief. I guess that President Bush's mouth got ahead of his brain once again. I am shocked!

George Bush's 2009 Budget And His Permanent Tax Cuts

  President Bush must be getting paid very well by the Military War Machine and its corporate sponsors and by his rich friends. You all know about Mr. Bush and his tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 which he wants to make permanent. With all of the money that the Bush Crime Syndicate has looted from the treasury and stolen from the taxpayers, they need all of these tax cuts made permanent in order to keep a much, much bigger slice of the pie!  Here is a breakdown based on percentages.

  According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the wealthiest 1 percent would receive 31 percent of the windfall over the next 10 years, the top 20 percent would receive 74 percent, and those in the lowest 60 percent of households would receive only 12 percent.    Source

  Between this and the increased military spending, we add to the deficit some $407 billion in 2009, and $410 billion in fiscal year 2008

  They call Republicans "conservatives "? I have not met one yet in this lifetime. Maybe by  " conservative " they mean that you and I could have been robbed even more if they had wanted to do it.

  You are aware that many domestic programs will be reduced in funding in order to pay for this " conservative " bullshit.
