What major area of federal government spending hasn't gone up under Bush? What areas do you consider unfunded? Did you not watch the coverage of Katrina? Are you not watching the coverage there now? The devastation in NO, MISS, LA and TX is going no where fast. People are living in tents while trailers sit rotting in Arkansas. The camps there are starting to look like the refugee camps in Palestine. Palestine is third world; we are first world. Frankly, I wouldn't have lived in the NO houses in the 9th ward BEFORE Katrina.........and they were considered respectable compared to some other neighborhoods in cities in this country. You ask me what areas I think are underfunded. How can you ask such a question? A country that can spend $400 billion on a war in Iraq and its people go hungry and live in garbage. A country that spends billions and billions on defense and its public school system is falling apart. A country that gives its richest citizens tax cuts and it has to sell off parts of its national park system to pay for those cuts. Does that sound reasonable to you? Does that make you proud to be an American? What kind of priorities are these if we intend to survive another millennium? Wake up and smell the coffee, Tim.......Bush is taking what was already a bad situation and making it much worse. He is the worse president in several life times. He has to be taken out of office before something much more serious happens.
