Not bad, but now that Mr. Bush Vetoed the Iraq Bill we can spend more on Iraq and make it four out of four. If we just shut the schools we could even spend more on Iraq and with some luck, when all the elderly are on the streets because they've lost everything to medical costs, we can take their Social Security and spend that on Iraq as well. We have only spent $500,000,000,000. on Iraq. That is a disgrace. As John Kennedy challenged us to reach the moon, we should set as a goal to spend the entire Gross National Product on Iraq by the year 2020. In fact, we could sell the entire Country to China, take the money and spend it on Iraq. That would leave us with almost nothing, but so what. As any schoolboy knows, it's our duty to work hard and send the money to Iraq. Just think, if Iraq falls, Viet Nam might be next.

There's something morally wrong if working parents can't get medical care for their children.

America sends billions of dollars in aid around the world, and yet the very people who pay taxes towards that aid can't get help at home.

Congratulations CBS for highlighting this issue.

$ 500 BILLION Wasted in Iraq, in a needless War basled on LIES.

Our congress spends OVER HALF of your tax $$ on WAR!

Our congress spends more on WAR than ALL OTHER Nations COMBINED!

Bush gave the super wealthy massive tax cuts and is running a skyrocketing debt.

WHEN will the American Sheeple WAKE UP and impeach and JAIL Cheney and Bush, and vote OUT all the spineless complicit corporate Democrats??

I wish they could but there is no simple solution. Those greedy drug companies? If theiur not going to make billions on a new drug their not going to spend Millions on reasearch.

Stop subsidizing the industry. The same drugs that are made here are sold overseas for less. We the American consumer is paying the difference. And you can keep Hilary and all the other candiates on both sides of the aisle.

The group's report finds despite billions of dollars in government spending, more than one in four children still don't have full-time health care

What is NOT mentioned here is that these children are AMERICAN BORN CITIZENS, CHILDREN OF AMERICANS.
Put in line in the "system" BEHIND non-citizen children of non citizens.

More and more jobs are not offering health care as a standard benifit. The cost of Health care is sky rocketing to such obscene levels. The medical industry has got crooked politicians in there hind pocket. Like it or not, this country will see socailized medicine within the next 10 years.

If the mothers of these children would get married and then dads take responsibility and get the children insured at their work, this would not be a problem. They choose to have them out of wedlock to get checks and food stamps. Alot of them are living with the dads but choose not to get married. Getting the working parent a job with a company that has health insurance is also a key. But most of these people do not want to pay the premiums even when they have a job that offers it. I know because my husband works at a Fortune 500 company that has great healthcare that is affordable, but the young single moms choose to not take the insurance for their children. That should be against the law.

Something this congress can get accomplished if it has the mind to is affordable health care for all citizens of the US.

shanev137 gave iraq $500 billion...

That $500billion was used by the bush war mongrels to kill a people and destroy their country. Nothing has been given to help Iraq.

[middleman8]

$500 billion dollars for Irack attack, not one cent for our children. This is what democracy stands for U S style. Lets spread this world wide. ha ha

[shanev137]

It's a good thing we just gave $500 BILLION to Iraq to help them fight their civil war.
