Feed the hungry? Bush says cut taxes instead

The day he's scheduled to address the UN about that pesky little invasion thing, the US decides to take a pass on a new UN initiative designed to raise $50 billion to fight global hunger. This money would be spent -- suprise -- on growing and providing food to starving people.

The official policy of the white house -- as expressed in this instance by Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman -- on ending hunger in the world isn't feeding people, it's cutting taxes for corporations.

We report, you decide.
