Are you worried about this?
"President Bush will send Congress a $2.9 trillion spending request Monday that seeks billions of dollars more to fight the Iraq war and tries to restrain the spiraling cost of the government's big health care programs.
Democrats charged that Bush wants to make painful cuts across a wide swath of government programs to protect his tax cuts and to keep funneling money to the unpopular Iraq war. "It just gives you sticker shock. Every time you turn around it's another $100 billion," Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, a Democrat from North Dakota, said of Bush's war spending." http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/02/....ap/index.html I'm afraid money is being taken away from people in this country to fight a war that may have started with good intentions but is now going no where. Over 1000 Iraqi's killed each other last week. How can we now stop such a deadly civil war? I'm very concerned about the debt our children will have to pay. We're borrowing money all over the world to keep this going.
