1. How do they figure it is only 120B for Iraq?

This year alone it was 230B in supplemental spending.

3. I guess they need to make a new graph every couple of months

2. Yes but to be fair to Chimpy

The Money for the Iraq Occupation doesn't come out of the Budget.

4. We're spending it over there so we can't spend it here

Bush has been a disaster to our country and he's too stupid and arrogant to know it himself.

We don't have any money left to spend here. It's all been given to the wealthy or spent in Iraq making his cronies rich. Actually the Bush tax cuts needs to be eliminated and the wealthy should face another tax hike so that we can rebuild this country from healthcare to infrastructure.

5. BIG kick. This should be on 1000 billboards nationwide!
