As the lame-duck Congress considers the latest off-budget, supplemental
spending request for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Democrats
should demand that W and his Republican’t Rubberstamps put up or shut
up. Either Iraq and Afghanistan are important enough to pay for-right
now-or they’re not. We shouldn’t borrow one more dime from China to pay
for W and his Chickenhawks’ manhood transplant.
Either raise the taxes, cut the WEALTHfare, or some combination of the
two for America’s best-off (the top 1% of earners starts at about
$350k/year), or bring our fighting men and women home.
If their mission is as important as W says it is when an election
approaches, it’s important enough for W to get it paid for!

Eddy…you mean…fiscal accountability?
I don’t think Republicans know the concept. Never have. They like to scream about it, though…plenty.

Damn straight. The Democrats should demand that taxes be raised to pay for every nickle we are spending in Iraq.
If every American (man, woman and child) were to receive a bill for $1,500, which is what this debacle has cost us, the war would be over tomorrow!
