"Unneccessary Spending"? Isn't This What Caused The Flood?
By cutting funding for levee repairs and FEMA to fund the Iraq war?

I shudder to think what will be deemed unnessary funding to pay for Bush's $200 billion photo op? Disaster preparedness for a potential San Francisco earthquake? Wetlands protection? It almost seems like Bushco is trying cause disasters so that idiots vote for him when promises to award contracts to his cronies, slash labor and environmental protections and further blur the line between church and state.

1. Too wierd, just posted that * and his buddies get richer in our disasters!
It seems like that with every disaster the corporate criminals get richer and more powerful and normal Americans become poverty stricken or so completely enveloped in just basic survival that no one has any time to pay attention to his politics! Is this deliberate you think? To keep most of Americans on their knees just trying to scrape a living so that there is no time to do anything except work (2 jobs to keep your head above water), eat and sleep! After all * did agree to paying the workers in LA less than normal pay.... you'd think that it would be double pay to help get them on their feet quicker! Less than average pay??? That means that the company OWNERS who are *'s buddies will make billions and the poor laborers will not be able to afford gas to get to work much less have the time to call their senators and congressmen about politics! OMG help us all. This is unbelivable.

2. It is hard to figure out what Bush is doing. Multiple Choice.
Is Bush's $200 billion photo op, which will be paid for by eliminating "unnecessary spending," an example of:

A. Bush's incompetence (funding for levee repairs was cut the last go around).

B. Bush's greed (take the $200 billion and give it Haliburton).

C. Bush's irresponsibility (screw things up, spend a lot of money, create a hudge debt, let the next president deal with the mess).

D. All of the above.

3. E: All and more.
Since the Rapture HAS to happen soon, nobody but the damned will have to pay back the debt.
