Likely requests in the Bush "supplemental" for Iraq?
Edited on Mon Jan-08-07 10:46 AM by kentuck
A billion dollars for a job training program?
A few billion for re-building infrastructure?
Fifty billion for present military operations and costs?
Ten billion for unpredictable events?
Five billion to pay salaries of new Iraqi recruits?
The remaining billions to pay bribes to those that will accept them?

Huffington suggested this to pay for the jobs program:

"...Bush's Iraqi jobs program is reportedly going
to cost a billion dollars -- a billion American dollars.
Where should that money come from?...

...Congress should repeal one zillionth of one percent
of the cut in capital gains tax (or in the estate tax,
or in the top tax bracket) that Bush gave the wealthiest
Americans. That would raise a billion in a heartbeat..."
