The US house just voted for a $165.4 billion war funds bill backed by Bush

Nice to see the democrats in the house are doing what we elected them to do.

Now the rethugs have attacked us over the years for our spending policies. They are doing the same to Obama now with their spendometer.

Just to put that in context, the US government has spent 800 billion dollars in Afghanistan and Iraq alone. Over 3000 Americans have been killed and many more wounded.

Obama has proposed to spend 150 billion to create 5 million green collar jobs. Another 60 billion will go to fix our national infrastructure.

In the meanwhile this government has blown 800 billion dollars on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the past 6 years. No jobs created. No infrastructure fixed.
