PRT 2:
If the system was fair, it would be different, but it favors the ones that really shouldn''t be getting it. I''m not seeing too many cafi%u2019s, gas stations, hardware stores or grocery stores getting that kind of money to stay in business.

I for one would like to see how they fare when the playing field was level and they had to play by the rules every one else have to play by. %u201CNo freebies. If you can''t pencil it out you won''t stay in business%u201D. Nobody''s mentioning the funky math involved in the farming sector. It''s every bit as creative as what we''re seeing housing market. We should be scared.

Bush needs to veto the defense spending bill, it contains provisions ala Pelosi granting amnesty to nearly 2 million illegal aliens.

What the illegals have to do with military appropriations is still a mystery.

To bad the democrats don''t have the guts to veto bush. Don''t think I could ever waste another vote on a democrat or a Republican, as if there not the same party!

[macusweil]

Bush is a total failure across the board and so is the Republican party.

The only hope for the GOP is to come clean and strongly denounce Bush, Cheney, Delay, Foley, Ney, Cunningham, Craig and the protracted list of assorted racketeers and criminals that made up their "lasting" majority until it ended in Nov 2006.

Congressman Ron Paul got laughed off the stage at the Republican debates earlier this year for calling a spade of his own party. Come Nov 2008 it will be the entire GOP itself that is laughed off the stage.

This bill is bloated.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino

I do believe MS. Perino has her head up her a$$. The Iraq war budget is bloated... kinda like bush''s head.

darnedsocks - if it wasn''t for the illegals you wouldn''t have any food to eat. Or it would cost 3 times as much.

I agree with straightening out the immigration mess but the reality is that our economy rides on the backs of these illegals.

I don''t know what the answer is but blaming the poorest and hardest working sector of the American working population does nothing for anyone.

[DaveGress]

LOL. Yet another group of American voters with buyers remorse over electing Bush.

[darnedsocks]

THIS SOUNDS GREAT IF YOU GET THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR ANCHOR BABIES OUT OF THE U.S.! I SURE DON''T WANT TO PAY FOR FEEDING ILLEGALS!

The president believes the legislation is fiscally irresponsible and gives away too much money to wealthy farmers. Bush would like to spend this money in Iraq or as a tax break for the wealthy.
