LOL...LOL again. What''s your point LIB? The president tried to save the program by investing the funds, but the socialist LIB congress blocked it. The presidents plan would have made SS solvent but LIBS just won''t have it. SOCIALISM is alive and well in the LIB party.

Stanzel said that although he signed the bill, Mr. Bush continues to be "disappointed with Congress'' addiction to earmarks."

And this from a piece of cr*ap that''s addicted to getting our troops killed in vain, just so his buddies can make a huge profit from this bloody mess he''s created. Bush is a mentally sick warmonger.

mbcsmith: "[The Nobel committee]...The same bunch that gave a prize to the terrorist Yassir Arafat and the eco-terrorist Al Bore."
I thought I''d get flamed for that (its easier than thinking, isn''t it). The economics Nobel is usually deserved, it certainly is in the case of Stiglitz. Say it with me: "The cost of the Iraq War would have solved the Social Security Crisis for over 100 years." That means, if you''re over 40, you wouldn''t have gotten your benefits cut, or if your under 40, you wouldn''t have gotten your SocSec taxes increased. If you''re against that, you must be the moron I think you are.

Fiscal responsibility my a$$. The Neoconscum are the biggest spenders (and liars) in history. Only someone with a room temperature IQ (or below) could fail to see that.

"And soon the president will outline his fiscal year 2009 budget proposal," the spokesman added, "which will hold the line on spending, keep taxes low and continue us on the path to a balanced budget."

That''s rich considering it was this worthless piece of sh*it Bush who took a budget surplus and changed it into more debt then every other president in history combined. It''s like a bank robber cliaming he''ll return a little of the money he''s stolen. What a lying as*shole.

You''re a fvcking loser. Why don''t you bash your LIB buddies in Congress who added $90 billion of wasteful earmarks. How long would that fund your selfish a$$.

"But Mr. Bush and Republicans held a powerful hand. They knew Democrats would not let money lapse for troops overseas. That allowed a Bush veto in May and GOP stalling tactics to determine the outcome."

In other words Bush played politics with the troops support and lives and he knew the Democrats would be the ones to really support the troops and make sure they were funded, instead of turning their funding into a game of chicken like Bush did. He''s such a pathetic little baby.

Bush is so flippin clueless, it is not even funny anymore. How do you balance a budget when you are spending 555 billion on a war? Not paying congress a couple years salary? We know that will never happen.
Consider this - If we(the general population) were able to ''only'' work when we wanted too and still get paid full salary, how many of us would excel in our workplace? Congress, both the Senate and House can pick and chose when they come to work, but they continue to get (1)full pay (2)perks (3)full vacations. We need to change the laws that allow them to do this and make it where they get NO PERKS, NO DAY OFF WITH PAY and have to work at least 50 weeks out of the year, maybe then they could get the job done right!

Ya know, on the Iraq war (and Cheney''s wars in general) I was unsure about Bush''s level of complicity. He just doesn''t seem smart enough to be involved in that sort of long-term planning. I figured Bush was told "you''ll be the next Reagan, baby!" and he actually believed it. But as we finally get to contrast his interaction with the past Republican and current Democratic Congress it''s clear that if nothing else he''s a party loyalist who will perpetrate the baldfaced lies his handlers send him out with.

"Deep reservations about earmarks"?! Unfortunately, Bush doesn''t seem to understand how Congress works (as newly legislated by the Democrats, to avoid more of Ted Stevens'' $270 million Bridge To Nowhere shenanigans, one assumes). The legislation states:

Any earmark found to be egregious during that period can be targeted in the motion to instruct conferees, a motion controlled by the minority party.

Uhh, that minority party would be yours, George.

The president signed this bill knowing that we didn''t have the money to spend in Iraq and Afghanistan on his fake wars, even without a dime being added to his fricking budget because we were already spent up from his refusal to have to the rich taxed!

The only reason he looks so hang dog himself is that he knows his reign of terror will be over soon, that the people are onto his lies, and he will go down in history as the most thieving conman in America.

Oh ye, who sleep with dogs and thieves, reap the fleas and degredation upon thy person.
