Remember when during the Presidential campaigns...it was made known that the GWB administration was spending $10b per month in Iraq. Everyone went OH MY that is a L O T of Money.
Well they just passed a war supplimental bill in the Senate for both Iraq and Afghanistan. Total $106b. $26b is pork.....that to e discussed in a moment. $80b is for the two war with 70% going to Iraq. 30% to Afghanistan.
But here is the deal.....the funding is only till Sept 30 of this year. Yep some 3 month. So under President Obama, we went from $10B per month to $18.6b per month for the Iraq War. At least for these three months...that the bill suppliments.
Also some pork that was tied into the bill was interestnig....
Ever here the "Cash for Clunkers" program? Well is special gov't funding program so that old cars can be turned in for new cars that are energy effeinct. Everyone run out and buy a hoopdie..... $1b for the program.
The gov't did buy some C-5A and some C-130....$2.7b there.
But John McCain said of the bill........
the bill "contains billions of unrequested spending that is unjustified and is certainly non emergency."

All maher was saying was that he was tired of Obama hiding the news.
He also said that its nice that we finally have a president who could speak in a complete sentence and pronounce all the words correctly - Alfafa conveniently forgot that but its doubtful he could complete and understand a sentence.
Rush Limbaugh should have gotten the same punishment that other drug abusers received.

Limbaugh had a reason to take drugs-he wasn't using them recreationally, and besides, most 1st time drug offenders get off with only a fine and rehab.

What color is the sky in your world? How could you accuse me of forgetting anything when all I did was post a link which clearly you did not view sober.
