The choice seems pretty obvious to me, but we all know what Bush does when a vast majority of Americans voice their opposition to his decisions: whatever the hell he wants. The Senate has enough votes to override his veto, but the House doesn’t, so the Democratic leadership has pushed back the deadline for an override for two weeks while they try to scrape together 15 more votes from Republicans. Good luck with that.

The only reason we have out of control spending is because the Bush administration spends it on ALL OF THE WRONG PROGRAMS. It is a sham and a travesty that we are the only developed country ON EARTH that doesn’t have government-funded national health care. Yes, Mr. Bush, these children are uninsured, even if they’re middle class citizens. Private health care is too expensive.

No, I don’t think that asking the nation to pay for everyone’s health care costs is a bad idea. We make taxpayers inhale the foul air of smokers, poison ourselves with pollution from selfish suburban families with inefficient SUVs, and pay for bombs and bullets in the Middle East. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect something back.
