Not sure what the 10 percent works out to in dollars, but it probably could be paid with 30 days of so if Iraq Defense spending. Why are we letting Lil'''' Bush throw our money away instead of spending right here in America?

Ok I''ll bite why? because everyone lets him get away with it? You think? If we only could make a statement strong enough to make him sit up and take notice. If only !!!!! - Reply to this comment
- This jackal never misses a chance to skewer the little guy. The result of Bush''''s veto is basically to encourage doctors to not treat the poorest patients because of the weeks of wrangling it often takes to get paid - but Bush is most worried about his rich azz friends in the private healthcare industry- like they aren''''t already making out like bandits. He is the worst President ever, hands down.

I could agree with this, but not the way you think. Since the Republicans PROHIBITED the federal government from negotiating lower care prescription drug prices for Medicaid, costs have indeed increased dramatically.
Why did they put that language in the bill? After all, the VA saves huge sums by using it''s purchasing power to negotiate much lower prices.
Answer that one... - Reply to this comment
- I see. So if it''s something Bush wants, crank up the federal deficit.
If it''s something the people need, "sorry, no funding!" (pulls pockets inside out for effect)
Pathetic President. - Reply to this comment
