Time for Bush to Quit Spending

[mdrbowler99]

I was just reading that Bush wants to send another $950 million to the tsunami victims.With all this money to throw around,he had better get SS,Medicaid,and Education in order and take care of all of us.He had better not think about any tax increases either.This guy is a total jerk.He wants more money for Iraq,more for the tsunami and he wants us,the American people to foot the bill.It is time to cut off his spending before he has us in such a deep hole,we will be a third world country.At his rate of spending,we will be there very soon.

did you see the pictures of bush sr. and Klintoon traveling around together? WTF is up with that?

Bet bush sr. is trying to latch onto old klintoon for a little action, he's probably tired of having at his george washington look alike wife.. ... he he

That was a trip paid for by the good old taxpayers of the United States.They should keep their asses out of there and travel to the slums here if they want to see who needs some help.

The $950m tsunami aid package includes:


$346m to reimburse the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Defence Department for their relief efforts in the region

$339m for reconstruction - from rebuilding roads and schools to major water systems

$168m to help victims with food, shelter, housing and education

$35m for tsunami early warning systems and disaster mitigation efforts

$62m for technical assistance for reconstruction activities and the costs of US government operations in the affected countries

Hm, seems a bit much. I see some benefit in giving disaster aid, but I think it's time to shut off the valve. Over a billion public and private dollars has come from the U.S. so far, and while that might not cover all expenses, it's been used to address major rescue and recovery concerns.

Bush wants to slow federal spending--let's stick with that idea for a while.

It seems like most of this money has already been spent and now it's paper shuffling from one depertment to another.

and the Defence Department for their relief efforts in the region

and the costs of US government operations in the affected countries


This stuff is already been done and MDR already whined about in his last two threads.

This has already been spent? How do you get $950 million out of the $350 million we gave several weeks back?

the shame of the whole mess is that that area of the world has never ever had that much money thrown at it before

Somebody is pocketing alot of American taxpayer's money.It is time to cut off the money supply or find a way for them to become useful to us to pay it back.ENOUGH OF OUR MONEY IS ENOUGH.
