You need to cut out the damn nonsense of accusing others of "cheering gloom and doom." If you use your pea brain a bit my son, you would understand that the post exposes Bush lies on the stump when he says that the economy is improving. Why don't you just shut up instead. Now here is a news item which goes to show that the American taxpayers are shelling out funds to build the police force in Iraq while American cities are closing down police and fire stations because of lack of funds. Bush wants to shift $3.3 billion to strengthen Iraq security Funds would be diverted from rebuilding projects <font size=3> Tyler Marshall, Los Angeles Times Monday, September 6, 2004 San Francisco Chronicle Chronicle Sections Washington -- The Bush administration is preparing to seek congressional approval to divert $3.3 billion earmarked to rebuild Iraq's shattered infrastructure into programs focused mainly to establish law and order. The move comes against a backdrop of steadily deteriorating public security in the country as it approaches a crucial first round of elections set for January. Those working on the changes said the proposed reallocation amounts to nearly one-fifth of the $18.4 billion Congress approved last November to rebuild Iraq. They said the shift would delay vital electricity, water and sewage projects -- all crucial to restoring Iraq's economy and building public support for the country's struggling interim government. <contd at> sfgate.com
