according to the dubious NYT

I would think that prezbo might consider whacking the trillion in new spending he made first

No problem spending a couple trillion on socialism but another fifty billion to support our military is expensive? Asshole!

They're just being silly, now. Winning the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al Qaeda is Obama's highest proirity; he wouldn't let a little thing like expense stand in the way of fighting this war we must win.

Sometimes there isn't enough money to go around .......... like when the head of a family decides they need expensive "toys" rather than purchase health care insurance.

I thought OBL was somewhere along the Afghani/Pakistan border.
I thought B.O.'s top priority was to "get Bin Laden". What happened to that?

Just another load of BS.

Folks, let's stick to the topic.

No money for healthcare, unlimited money for war. That's what I'm hearing.

Healthcare costs 1.3 trillion, 40,000 more troops = 54 billion. about 4%

That would be more compelling if I wouldn't rather the government literally burn money than spend it on war.

Both amounts can be put to infinitely better use.
