War $$ vs. unemployment benefits

Is anyone else super pissed that our fabulous leaders prefer to spend our tax dollars on war rather than extend jobless benefits to actual needy americans?

I saw that he was out campaigning and had not voted on this measure. Damn bad timing for him and a lot of others.

Also would have helped if the republican majority gave a rats ass about regular americans well-being.

6. It isn't just unemployment benefits

Money is being cut off for just about everything.

Every night driving home on the 22 fwy through Garden Grove ( this stretch is a parking lot all day long) this stretch that was being widened. Work was halted about a year ago due to lack of funding.
The money was apparently needed in Iraq. I call this the Iraqi memorial expressway.
