That is $1516 per American citizen. That is $3473 per US taxpayer.

Bush is currently threatening to veto a health care bill for children. It would cost 35 Billion dollars. That is 7.6 percent the amount we have spent on Iraq. According to Bush, our children are not worth 7.6 percent as much as an oil war is worth. "There's a lot of money to pay for this. It doesn't have to be U.S. taxpayer money. We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon." Paul Wolfowitz How many more lies will these neocons tell to destroy this country?
