Now, I'm not very good at math, but I'm pretty sure that $25 billion is not half of $200 billion. But according to Mr. Bush and his friends it is. I think they need to go back to 3rd grade math and bone up on their division and multiplication tables.

$200 billion is a whole lot to spend on a silly war that we don't even know why we are fighting. And this whole Social Security privitization thingy is also going to be really expensive and we don't really even need it according to "Democrats and ecomomists".

I have a theory that if Osama bin Ladin is tyring to bankrupt the US, that Mr. Bush is part of the plan. He's certainly doing a mighty fine job of it so far. He and his oil buddies have always had their snouts up the Saudi's butts, it just makes sense.
