The lies of GW Bush's Budget Proposal

Bush's new budget includes cuts of 65 billion dollars over 5 years to the poorest recipients of medicare...plus increases in medicare monthly deductions from Social Security recipients. His budget includes 101 billions of dollars in new weapon systems for the coming year alone...176 billions in weapons systems total for the year...and a defense budget of over 600 billions of dollars (not including supplementals for Iraq/Afghanistan war on terrorism). His increase does not provide enough to fully fund the 98,000 person increase in the Army and Marines that he's asking for. His budget steals 1 trillion dollars from the Social Security trust fund monies coming in between now and 2012...at which time his budget will be 'balanced'...without mentioning that 200 billion dollars that 'balanced' year will be coming out of the SS trust fund. Lies and obfuscation...and the media is complicit. Cut monies from the least among us...while stealing their money to increase the wealth of Defense Contractors... It's an outrage and should be brought to the attention of your representatives in both houses of Congress. Eisenhower was so right in warning us about the MI complex... *** "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." "I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it." "In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?" "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." ~~Dwight D. Eisenhower
