BUSH, MODERN JULIUS CAESAR, WANTS UNLIMITED FUNDING FOR WAR IN IRAQ

Bush is meeting with Democratic leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi today about the supplemental budget request to continue his damned war in Iraq but claims he is not negotiating. I guess this means Bush wants to issue a fiat about war funding to the Democrats. And no dissent or time-tables, please! This guy Bush thinks he is king. He is the modern incarnation of the Roman tyrant Julius Caesar who thought he could take over the Roman republic by force of the Roman army. Similarly Bush thinks he can bypass the input of Congress. That's why Bush gives his speeches only to the army.

Here's a suggestion made by Dick Orenstein, a letter writer to the New York Times yesterday. April 17, 2007.

"No big fuss, just adjust the tax rates up to pay for the troops and their activities. Then let’s see who wants to support the troops! That will bring the cost of the war into everyone’s sight!"

Give Bush all the money he wants, but make it "pay-as-you-go," to be financed by current taxes. Do not add one cent to the budget deficit by spending on this unjust war.
