The Bush fiscal agenda -- Keep cutting taxes for the wealthy. Keep cutting programs for the poor, children and students. Keep spending vast amounts of money on wars that were supposed to be over quickly:
The Bush administration said Thursday that it would seek about $120 billion in additional financing to pay for continuing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through 2006.And there is still nothing resembling a victory strategy or exit strategy coming from Bush.
The request shows that the cost of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan has remained at virtually the same level for several years, despite hopes that a large number of the American troops may leave Iraq by the end of the year.
Wonder if he included any money for body armor...
