Perhaps a more accurate phrase would be ‘All Children Left Behind’. The President has budgeted $30 billion to cover healthcare for America’s children for the years 2008 through 2012 – an amount which would not cover the costs of the children currently enrolled in the program, let alone allow for those that will be added over the years.
Priorities. It’s the same amount ‘added’ to his aid package to Israel, and the cost (conservatively) of waging the war in Iraq for two and one half months.
Conclusion: Foreign Aid – Ok. War – Ok. Healthcare for America’s children – No way.
Way to go Georgie boy. If ever our 'do nothing Congress' wanted a cause to fight for, might I suggest they look at this issue.
