President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided the socialist style illegal distribution of wealth for health insurance for children, illegal aliens and anyone deemed to be less than fully responsible for their personal actions, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in Congress do it the democrats way or we will stomp our feet and cry “foul” why we blame conservatives for all of the nation’s woes to dramatically increase funding for the popular program that will only benefit the trade unions, people who are irresponsible and other people we can count on to vote for a democrat.

Illegal re-distribution of wealth BAAAAAAAD! Simple enough. Just a reminder, the federal government is not a business and has no “surplus”. It only has money that it has illegally obtained by the people for purposes other than that which it is allowed under the Constitution.

Darn those silly laws and facts anyhow. We need to feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel good about what we are doing!

They could not help but call ‘keeping taxes from being increased’ as a ‘tax cut’. It was really unbelievable. They all said that we have to ‘pay for it somehow’ even though it is not money that is in the budget.

There were some good points about how the Bush budget handled these ‘future funds’ but that had nothing to do with the debate that they had. I would appreciate this PAYGO issue if they also considered CUTTING PROGRAMS as a means to pay for these things. As it stands, of course, they only focus on raising taxes.

The debate was classic, and the Republicans would have won hands down except for the fact that they have not been fiscally responsible much themselves. But it does show that the Democrats think that all Americans’ money is their money.

The Senate passed an AMT program that the President would sign. But when the House added this tax increase, it is doomed to fail in the Senate, and would be VETO’d if it passed the Senate.

The Democrats really just have contempt for the American people. The SCHIP program showed it and so does everything that this Democratically controlled congress brings to the floor.

One final thing (sorry for the length) about Pelosi. She gave press conferences all evening too. Every time she brought up the cost of something, she compared it to the War spending. I wish someone would tell her that one thing has nothing to do with the other, but she thinks it is good politics. If she has problems with how much the Iraq War costs, she can vote against funding. If she doesn’t vote against funding, she can’t use it as a comparison for other irresponsible bills.

Sorry for hijacking this thread. Thanks for your time. Carry on.

President Bush vetoed a children’s health measure on Wednesday afternoon, effectively killing Democrats’ hopes of expanding a popular government program aimed at providing insurance to children in lower-income and middle-income families.

I didn’t see it, but that’s what I heard.
