Don't you feel kinda strange, calling yourself a "conservative" and
posting things like this?

How about money squandered on pointless slaughter, while obscene profits
are not only raked in by favored industries... and troops go without

You really have a warped view of what's really going on.


... towards building the nation's infrastructure,

Can you point to a single example of this in Bush/Cheney's budgets?

Just one? How 'bout lots:

Transportation:
a.. Provides full funding of the Highway "guarantee" level of $32.3
billion, o support state and local highway and bridge improvements. This
funding level includes $145 million for the President's New Freedom
Initiative to ensure transportation alternatives are available for the
disabled and increases research and development funding to support
congestion reduction technology initiatives.



b.. Includes full funding of the Mass Transit "guarantee" level of $6.7
billion, to expand mass transit programs.



c.. Provides full funding for the Aviation "firewall" level of $13.3
billion, to meet the Federal Aviation Administration's operating, safety and
security responsibilities and to minimize air traffic delays and modernize
the air traffic system.



d.. Proposes $5.1 billion for the Coast Guard, to support operational
requirements and begin rebuilding the Coast Guard's aging fleet of ships and
aircraft.



e.. Provides $521 million for Amtrak capital programs-a funding level that
supports the railroad's glidepath to achieve operational self-sufficiency.
Corps of Engineers:
a.. Targets funds for completing priority ongoing projects, such as the
environmental restoration work in the Florida Everglades.



b.. Reduces funding for studying potential new projects, given the $40
billion backlog of construction projects that are either ongoing or
authorized but not started.



c.. Provides a funding increase for the Corps' program for evaluating
proposed development in wetlands.



... towards encouraging new business growth

Ditto


According the the Natinal Federation of Independent Businesses, Bush has a
near 100% perfect record on issues affecting small businesses.



... and towards education are worthwhile expenditures.

Now this is funny. Are you familiar with the term 'unfunded mandate'? It
perfectly describes Bush/Cheney's federal education programs...
