So here's the question.

How come, when Bush decides to up the defense budget another hundred billion to
$350 billion, and spend another $150-200 billion on the war in Iraq, nobody on
the right stops to say, "Hey, where's this money gonna come from?"  That never
seems to be an issue, dropping bombs, that never seems to be an issue, but
feeding, clothing, and helping the least of its citizens, that somehow has to
be justified.

Astonishing.
