not find millions for education and health care for our inner city children? This is a national disgrace!!!

Jesse, I am certainly with you on this. When they first put our F117A's over there it costs a lot of money to upkeep them. I am so over Iraq....It is time to bring them home safe and sound. They need to pay our military more money are all they and our families have to go through. It is BS....We have to many issues here in the USA to handle...take care of home first. Any politian can say what they want to at first. They are trying to get a vote; I am so tired of liars. Whoever gets voted in is going to have to crawl before they walk because of all the damage that has already been done. Hillary, Obama and Richards are all good candidates....Anybody is better than GOOFY. Donald Duck is better than GOOFY...

I just read an article that talks about the Iraq war actually being cheap and affordable. Are they kidding? How can you call hundreds of billions a year cheap and affordable when we keep cuting funds for the Park Service, Education, and other domestic programs, that only need more millions? Only one answer I can think of: military industrial complex!

Here is the problem with that approach. States like Mississippi and Florida spend so little on education, especially for disadvantaged students. Should a child's opportunity be limited because of where he or she was born?

I think the real disgrace is how the government bleeds the producers for so much tax money just so they can hand it over to the non producers in the form of various entitlements. Thats the big disgrace.

The federal government should limit itself to national defense and let states handle their own affairs such as education. In my opinion the government, be it state or federal, has no business trying to be a health care provider.

not that my opinion matters more than anyone else's, but i believe the cornerstone of this issue is federal powers vs state powers. there is a balance somewhere between them, and this is the result.

p.s. this is coming from a guy who thinks abortion is a states' rights concern, so take it for what it's worth.

I agree completely
