Why did the dems add so much pork to the Iraqi Bill ?

I strongly encourage you to protest Bush policies. You can do this by figuring out your taxes this April 15th using the law from the year 2000.

Might have had some help from congress, these budgets do pass, and then debt ceiling gets raised and on and on. What is amazing, is that America can still borrow for 5% or thereabouts. What I want to hear from any candidates is how much more it will cost, in lives and money. And what do I personally owe the Pentagon--what is my debt for Iraq? If we use $300B and divide that by $300M Americans, and I pay for a family of four, that means my cost is $4000. Just a first approximation based on an equal cost for all citizens. Or you might break it up and see what has been spent per Iraqi. Either way, it is awfully expensive. _______________ That is not strictly true, the tax tables, exemptions and deductions, not to mention the child credit seem to subsidize my wife and kids--but this is just a mental exercise.
