Bush and his cronies in the Pentagon estimate that they are going to come $63 BILLION short on their war budget. They also plan on asking for $8 billion to aid our allies and $4 billion to enhance "domestic security". Is it just me, or does this seem like a large sum of money to drop on a war that about 8% of the nation wholeheartedly supports?

I can think of a lot of better uses for the money. With $63 billion, one could:
- start roughly 630 Gesundheit! Institutes
- buy approximately 74 billion Twinkies and distribute them to all of the homeless and starving people in the country many times over
- upgrade every single public school in the country with modern computers, libraries, etc.
- give every poor family a sum of money great enough to get them on their feet again and off of welfare
Or, of course, the obvious one:
- assassinate Saddam Hussein and stimulate an economy that is floundering because of the guidance of a shitty president, so that the 1% of the American people who own 65% of the country's wealth can stop losing their precious money

Obviously, we the People of the United States, must support the final option. It would be unpatriotic any other way.
