How can Bush spend billions on the time of war, but not $35 million on children's condition insurance?

I don't know how anyone can call him/herself a Republican these days!

It is pretty ______-up when you consider this "occupation" costs $2,000,000,000+ a week and the government is just hand out money.

*edit*
And to all who keep attempting to quote the Constitution, how just about Bush doing what he wants (Patriot Act, Habeus Corpus, etc) and calling the Constitution "just a piece of paper".
Bush does seem to have his priorities. No doubt something like that.
Bush is biggest biggot America has get ! Oh it rhymed :-)`
Why should the government spend money on something that is already available? No one who truly requirements it is denied health care contained by this country, therefore, there is no requirement for the government to spend money to give general public something they already have. Besides, have you ever be to the DMV? Do you want your healthcare administered like that? I certainly don't, and that is to say why the government should stay out of healthcare.

Why is it the Federal Government's responsibility to provide for children's health insurance.

I provide for my own children, why do I entail to support everyone elses as well.

Please quote for me the passage contained by the Constitution the specifically charges the Federal Government or more specifically the Executive Branch with providing health prudence. This discussion is more liberal smoke and mirror trying to hide yet another welfare entitlement.

Get a commission, get off welfare, stop sticking your foot into my pocket to pay fro crap you think you obligation but won't pay for yourself.
35 Billion, but I it's the housing market's fault not the 100s of billions spent on the war within Iraq.
Oh and Bush doesn't like children.
35 billion, not million, is in question here. 3 times monthly expenditures within Iraq.
It is $35 BILLION!
$25 billion is already spent on it and Bush was inclined to go to $30 Billion.
I am a PROUD Republican.
LOL, I love how then on this one is going to bite us in the A S S. In 20-30 years, when we actually requirement troops for something more useful than the Iraq war, we won't hold any kids enlisting in the military. Why, because the GOP doesn't support Children's Health Insurance. A lot will die or suffer serious condition problems to where they can't enlist. Plus GOP kids will not enlist since they only believe surrounded by advocating a war they would never face-off in themselves. So that will cause a trunk military shortage. I would think Bush would back this one -- but he keep making mistake after mistake after mistake. 2008 can't come too soon.
Initially, the only job of the gov't is infastructure and protecting our borders. Do you really want a reckless spending gov't involved in our health thoroughness as well?

The gov't is not your daddy, nor should you rely on them for your support.
Its not the governments job to be mommy and daddy. Some family absolutely need lend a hand for health care, but plentiful are living very irresponsible lives and our taxes shouldn't have to be spent because of their doomed to failure decisions. There needs to be a sanctuary net, but a dependency on the government is anti-American.
Only ignorant population don't call themselves Republican these days.
He can do what he wants, but he never vetoed one Republican spending bill, not one...f*cking opinionated hack is all he is.
Parents should buy health insurance for their children. It is personal responsibility not parliament responsibility. I am a conservative and I oppose social programs at the federal level. Government cannot be adjectives thing to all culture. The creeping socialism in the US should be stopped and reversed.
The same way Clinton didn't spend money on kid's form even without war...

I focus what I said is a fact.... Source(s): REPLUBLICAN FOR LIFE!!
Bush addressed the problem through over $117 billion surrounded by initiatives to make good strength care coverage more available and affordable, as well as initiatives to upgrade the options available to people enrol in the Medicaid and S-CHIP programs.
Extended Availability of SCHIP Funds. Bush's 2003 budget strengthened the SCHIP by making available to states an estimated $3.2 billion in unused SCHIP funds that otherwise would return to the federal treasury. The SCHIP regulation originally required states that did not use their full SCHIP allotment during the previous three years to return the unused funds. These additional matching funds will see all states to expand coverage to the uninsured at enhanced Federal match rates.

Extended Transitional Medical Assistance. The budget provides $350 million to verbs funding Medicaid for families in transition from welfare to work. This coverage help to ensure that work pays for families by preventing them from losing their health coverage when they start job.

Add it all up. I'm no mathematician but, I think its rather more than $35 million
I think you're slightly off on the numbers nearby. It's 35 billion, not 35 million.

Haha, you are way off on your numbers. We've spent partly a trillion on the war. Not 453 trillion. We spend more a year on free health assistance than we have in 5 years on this time of war.
Shame on Democrats:

It is the Federal government defined responsibility in the Constitution to run and fund the military. There is no such provision in that document to purchase robustness insurance for anyone...............
Con4Life is pretty funny. Oh, Clinton didn't spend any money on children's form, so we can squander the funds on pointless unprovoked war instead.

Clinton TRIED to fund children's health prudence, but was blocked by republicans. So naturally he should be ridiculed for that downfall. Sometimes conservative logic astounds me.

You know, paying for children's health care simply doesn't have the immediate financial stimulation that giving gobs of money to military contractors does. I mean, who would you fairly see sailing yachts in the Carribean, doctors, or private contractors? Doctors will just gamble away the money healing children. Lose lose. Defense contractors, on the other hand, will judiciously spend the money on land mines and other munitions that blow away pestiferous third world children. Win win!

To those who claim it isn't the government's job to fund strength care--amen! If you were too stupid to have chosen to be born to magnificent parents, you don't deserve decent medical care. And the certainty there are a few parents who chose careers that prohibit their facility to pay for child care, or who invested their money surrounded by Enron or some other foolish mistake--well, ALL poor parents should watch their children suffer for the errors of these few. Health is not a right but a priveledge. I don't want to hear about some poor child who cannot afford a heart transplant. She should hold thought of that before her heart got infected. If she lacks the funds to buy a spanking new heart by the time she turns six, God take her.

I know I chose to be born healthy, to parents who could usually afford to nurture and clothe me.
Read my lips: Socialism=BAD Freedom=GOOD! $60 Billion my friend. Children should receive affordable condition care and it is up to their responsible parents to provide it for them, not the government! If their are children out in attendance in need of vigour care and they are not getting it, call Social Services, and they will bring help!
Proudly Conservative, and Republican!
I agree. You are right oh masterful one. Thank you for enlightening my daytime and I look forward to many more post from you and the many thoughtful those who come to enlighten poor ole pitiful me.
It shows just where on earth Bush's priorities lie.
All his eggs in this period of war basket.

WAR MEANS OIL.
OIL MEANS PROFITS for him his family and friends after hes out of department.

Come on....who invested in Bush's first oil company?
BIN LADEN Family!!

Why be Bin Laden family allowed to fly during that no fly period?
Because they are doing favors for eachother.

Why we go into IRAQ when Al Queda centralized was not involved with IRAQ until after America colonized IRAQ

Yet even still....Bush is going on and on about how Iraq is stoppping the terrorists that were responsible for 9/11
Chenney too.

It with the sole purpose shows that not only does Bush not care in the region of america.
Only whats best for him, and all his oil buddies!
That's Billion not million. I fail to see the problem, or is your abhorrence for Bush just needing an outlet. Really, group psychiatric help can help.
Government is not responsible for form care. Get your numbers straight. We are not Europe. If you want socialist health fastidiousness leave the US.
Because a) children's strength insurance is not the responsibility of the government and the government have no authority to force me to pay for it. Got my own kids, thanks and I'm paying for them. Don't want any more. And b) those children in need already receive robustness care. I challenge you to show me one kid contained by the United States that is not receiving obligatory, even excellent health care.

And lastly, defeat the threat of international terrorism helps us all and IS the brief of the government.
The war is a defense of the Nation spending hard work.

The 35 Billion dollar child healthcare bill is another Democratic, welfare state socialist program.

Got it?
Bush has never showed that he care for any American in the last 7 years so this comes to me as no surprise.
It's sad, but right people have one set of priorities and impossible people have another. It's smooth to see which priorities are good, and which are evil.
