Sick kids, sick government

I can't stand it. Current Occupant can say with a straight face that we cannot afford to pay the paltry $12 billion to cover poor children because they aren't really poor (yup, he did say that) and besides, we just can't afford it.

But it's fine to spend untold zillions on a war that is achieving absolutely nothing. The only people that are gaining from the adventure in Iraq are the non-bid contractors and private security firms. Otherwise, it's a total waste. But that is OK with George. And he has the gall to have his minions in the defense department ask for even more, 'cause we all know that throwing money at a problem is the way to solve it, right?

Am I missing something here?
