Bush Wants Billions More for Iraq War after Vetoing Health Care for 10 Million Children

Bush has asked for another $49 billion in funding for the Iraq War after having recently requested $150 billion. This after he wasn't willing to spend the $30 billion needed to save the healthcare of 10 million children.

LA Times:

"Demanding nearly $200 billion for Iraq while vetoing healthcare for 10 million children exemplifies the Bush administration's misplaced priorities," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said Monday, comparing the budget requests with the president's objection to spending $30 billion to expand a popular health-insurance program for children.

Every day that this war continues we lose not only precious lives, but valuable resources to strengthen a decaying infrastructure, schools, and healthcare system. Very, very sad.
