Bush Wants $100 Billion for Iraq But Will Veto 3.5 Billion in Farm Aid
President Bush believes in the War in Iraq but not in the plight facing our own country's farmers.
He's said he will veto the Iraq funding bill passed Thursday night by the House because it's not enough and comes with conditions. He wants more for Iraq. The bill authorizes $42.8 billion over the next two months.
He also says he will veto the $3.5 billion farm aid bill passed by the House today.
How is it that we have a President who wants to spend untold billions helping those in a foreign country but won't help those at home who need assistance, like the farmers and Katrina victims and those without health insurance? Why should we rebuild Iraq before rebuilding New Orleans?
If this is typical of all Republicans, it's time we vote them out for good.
