What a blithering little crybaby commie! Ever hear of a kid dying because they didn''t have insurance? NO!

You know, you aren''t limited to the amount of federal tax you pay. If your CPA says you owe $10,000.00, you can send the gov $15K. Feel free.

But you''re probably one of those who pay NOTHING yet still get a refund. Loser.

You need to increase your reading comprehension skills in a MAJOR way!! Even Dubya understands that SCHIP is for CHILDREN (and I personally don%u2019t know any children who smoke tobacco). What the article says is that when the plan was to expand the program by $50 billion that the money was to come from 2 sources:
(1) increasing the tobacco taxes and
(2) lowering subsidies to private Medicare insurers.

The second source of funds was dropped because of opposition by key Senate Republicans and 20 House Democrats. Thus the expansion is now planned to be $35 billion.

Sadly those who opposed the second source (because they feel they must protect their campaign contributors interests instead of the children of this nation) can%u2019t read and comprehend any better than you.

Those lower subsidies were proposed to correct the current $15 billion in OVERPAYMENTS to those private insurers. The opposing politicians would rather let the insurance companies keep $15 billion our tax dollars.

The President is spending about $6 billion a month on the war in Iraq so over the next 5 years (length of time covered by SCHIP funding) his war will cost over $360 billion and yet providing healthcare to a few more of America%u2019s poor CHILDREN would only $35 billion (less than 10% of future cost of war).

Bless his heart...the tobacco tax hike is a given...but he doesn''t want it to go to the children...he wants it in his God awful war chest...and he''s seriously afraid of the insurance company lobby since he gave them millions to provide LESS health care to Americans covered on this program. Most middle class Americans cannot support insurance policies for their children, they''re too busy covering the tax cuts he gave to those of wealth. I say cut his salary, his insurance coverage, and quit feeding him and let him live on an insurance plan and food bill covered by say $30,000 a year. Do you suppose he''s ever been in a grocery store and had to debate with himself to buy a name brand peanutbutter as opposed to a generic brand? Do you suppose he''s ever waited for some accountant at an insurance company to approve whether he gets health care or not? I think the real world is a concept he hasn''t a clue about.

This is the reality of Bush''s America .. Republican instill fear concerning government run medicine while 90 million Americans have no health insurance. Bush''s plan is to allow a family making 50 to 60k to have some tax credits for the 15K medical plan. If you don''t see the stupidity in this solution you are beyond hope. Meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum having a measily 1 BILLION dollars will no longer get you on the Forbes richest list. Somewhere priorities have really gotten screwed up. I guess the grace of God goes to the greedy ... I must have read the wrong Bible growing up.

I can''t believe the AMERICAN PEOPLE are still putting up with President Bush''s bull. My question is who are the wizards that re-elected him? If this is a great country, why is there homelessness, people going hungry and poverty?

[twylacrat]

There he goes again. How many ways can the little idiot tell us he doesn''t give a tinker''s dam about our kids?

"I believe this is a step toward federalization of health care," the Chimp said.

What about Bush''s Medicare prescription drug "reform"? It cost far more than the measly $35 billion for SCHIP. It was a HUGE step towards "federalization of healthcare". Somehow, THAT was OK by little Georgie. But healthcare for 10 million children in our country is not!

Bush is a con man, a liar, a murdering scvmbag. He is beneath contempt. Perhaps he read "Suffer the little children oome unto me" in his Bible and thought, "I should make the children SUFFER so I can be like my hero, Jesus!"

They maybe so, but the point still is the amount of taxes that would be missed, is staggering.

Also I live in NC too, the buyout did affect alot of people, but, Tobacco still is grown here. Just not as many, the ones that are growing it, can plant many more acres of it. Used to be only 40 acres, as you probably know .
